Mehmeti made his Allsvenskan debut on 31 March 2008 against IFK Göteborg. His first goals came in dramatic style. With Malmö FF trailing Kalmar FF 2–1, Mehmeti was subbed on in the 83rd minute. He struck net twice, lifting Malmö to a 3–2 victory. In 2009 Mehmeti fought for a starting spot but retained his role as the super-sub as he scored 5 goals coming on as a substitute. In 2010 Mehmeti finally took a starting spot, starting 23 out of 30 possible. He was Malmö FF's top goalscorer for their league winning season in 2010 when he scored 14 goals of which 11 were league goals. Mehmetis 2011 season was not as successful as his previous ones.

Mehmeti chose not to renew his contract after the 2011 season.
Palermos director of sports Luca Cattani confirmed the signing of Mehmeti on 9 November 2011. Mehmeti joined the club on 1 January 2012 when the transfer window opened. On 11 November 2011 Mehmeti also confirmed a five-year deal with Palermo, which makes him a Palermo player until 30 June 2016. Mehmeti made his debut for Palermo in the home fixture against Napoli on 8 January 2012. He made a further two appearances from the bench during the 2011–12 season.
On 30 August 2012, he moved on loan to Novara in exchange for Italian winger Luigi Giorgi. Mehmeti stayed at Novara for the remainder of the 2012–13 season where he played 23 matches and scored six goals for the club.
In July 2013 it was announced that Mehmeti would go to SC Olhanense in the Portuguese Primeira Liga for a season long loan deal. On 24 August he scored his first goal for the team in his second league game. In total Mehmeti played 20 matches while at Olhanense and scored twice.
