Kulenovic joined the academy of Dinamo Zagreb in 2008. During the 2015–16 season, he played 27 times for the reserves, scoring 22 goals and adding 11 assists. On 7 June 2016, he moved abroad and joined the academy of Polish club Legia Warsaw on a three-year contract. On 22 July 2017, he was loaned out to the youth team of Italian club Juventus, but returned to his parent club in the following June.

On 10 July 2018, Kulenovic made his first team debut, playing the last nine minutes of a 1–0 victory over Irish club Cork City in the UEFA Champions League.

On 2 September 2019, Kulenovic returned to Dinamo Zagreb, signing a long-term deal. He debuted on 21 September against Varazdin.

On 24 September, in a Europa League third qualifying round against Kolos Kovalivka, he made his debut for Rijeka. The match went into extra time and, while the score was 1–0, Kulenovic notably had an opportunity to set the score to 2–0; however, the ball stopped in a puddle of mud on the goal line as the pitch was soaking wet due to heavy rain. It was then netted in by teammate Franko Andrijasevic. He scored his first goal for Rijeka on 4 October, a penalty kick in a 2–0 victory over Slaven Belupo. In the second half of the season, Kulenovic fell out of favour with coach Simon Rozman, who left him out of the squad during the training ahead of the derby with Hajduk Split on 27 Febru
