Born in Stockholm, Sweden, to a Turkish father and Norwegian mother, Vural moved to Spain to start his career with Sant Cugat.[2][3] After a return to his native Sweden to join Hammarby, his performances for their youth teams attracted attention from Spanish giants Barcelona. However, after Barcelona failed to meet the residence and work permit conditions, Vural moved to Portugal to sign for Benfica in 2018.[2]
After four years in Lisbon, Vural moved to Turkey to sign for Fenerbahçe.[4] Due to his ability and high potential, he immediately started training with the first team squad, rather than the youth team.[5]
On 19 April 2022, Vural made his unofficial debut in a 1–0 friendly win over Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk. In doing so, he became the youngest player to ever represent Fenerbahçe at 15 years, 10 months and 23 days old.[6]
Vural is eligible to represent Sweden as his nation of birth, as well as Turkey or Norway through his parents.[3] He has represented Turkey at under-16 level.[1]
