Born in Casablanca, Bentayeb played as a youth for the Mohammed VI Academy. In 2021, it was reported that he was being tracked by Angers SCO, FC Lorient and FC Sochaux-Montbéliard of France, as well as Raja CA at home.[1] After 11 years at the academy, he joined Union Touarga in the Botola Pro in 2022.[2]

On 22 August 2024, Bentayeb was loaned to Rodez AF of France's Ligue 2.[2] He played 29 league games and scored 10 goals for the club,[3] including two on 10 March in a 5–1 home win over third-placed USL Dunkerque.[4]

At the end of August 2025, Bentayeb turned down a €150,000 offer from En Avant Guingamp and instead joined fellow Ligue 2 club ES Troyes AC on loan for a €300,000 fee.[5] He made his debut on 12 September in a 3–0 home win over AS Nancy Lorraine, scoring twice.[6]
