Utrecht
Troupée is a youth exponent from FC Utrecht. He made his Eredivisie debut on 17 May 2015 as a 62nd-minute substitute for Jelle de Lange against Vitesse. He became a starter in the 2016–17 season under head coach Erik ten Hag, as Utrecht finished the season fourth in the league and later qualifying for the UEFA Europa League after winning play-offs. Troupée finished the season by winning the "David Di Tommaso Trophy" for best player of the year at Utrecht.

On 28 August 2018, he joined ADO Den Haag on a season-long loan, after losing his place in the starting lineup of Utrecht.
