Akyüz is a youth product of TSE Arabayatağı Spor, and moved to the youth academy of Fenerbahçe in 2020.[1] On 5 August 2022 he signed his first professional contract with Fenerbahçe, and was promoted to their first team as third goalkeeper.[2] He was on the bench for a Süper Lig match away against Trabzonspor on 17 March 2024, and got in an altercation with fans that rushed on the field to abuse the players.[3] He made his senior and professional debut with Fenerbahçe as captain in the controversial 2023 Turkish Super Cup match on 7 April 2024. Fenerbahçe fielded a U19 side in protest of conditions in Turkish football, and forfeited in the first minute after conceding a goal.[4][5]
