Club career

Gürleyen began his football career in Berlin and played for the U-17 teams of Hertha Zehlendorf and Tennis Borussia Berlin. For the 2016–17 season he moved to 1. FSV Mainz 05, where he started on the U-19 team and from 2018 for the second team in the Regionalliga. In the summer of 2018, he traveled with the professional team to a training camp in Venlo in the Netherlands[3] and was used once as a substitute in the subsequent 2018-19 Bundesliga season.[4] In October 2018 he signed a professional contract until 2022,[5] but continued to play in the second team.

In February 2020, Gürleyen was loaned out to the Austrian Football Second League club FC Liefering,[6] who was coached by Bo Svensson, his former coach in Mainz 05.[7] During the loan spell, he made two appearances in the 2nd division for Liefering. After his return to Mainz 05 he played four times for the second team in the Regionalliga Südwest in the 2020–21 season.

On 5 October 2020, he was loaned out to 3. Liga club SV Wehen Wiesbaden until the end of the season.[8]
