Fotis Ioannidis (Greek: Φώτης Ιωαννίδης; born 10 January 2000) is a Greek professional footballer who plays as a forward for Super League club Panathinaikos and the Greece national team.
Club career
Levadiakos
On 10 December 2018, Ioannidis scored his first goal for the 2018–19 season, in a 1–1 away draw against rivals Panionios.[1] On 24 February 2019, helped, as a substitute, his club to snatch an unlikely victory in the dying moments of stoppage time. Completely unmarked in the six-yard area, connected with a floating cross, planting a firm header into the net in a 1–0 away win against Xanthi in his club's effort to avoid relegation.[2]
Panathinaikos
On 10 August 2020, Panathinaikos officially announced the purchase of the young striker, who signed a four-year contract with the club.[3] On 10 February 2022, an MLS club offered more than €2 million for his services, but the offer was rejected.[4]
In his first three seasons, Ioannidis failed to make an impression, but in the 2023–24 he managed to solidify himself in the starting line-up, becoming a key member in Ivan Jovanović's plans. The team came close to qualifying for the Champions League group stage, but lost 3-1 to Braga on aggregate.
On 21 September 2023, Fotis scored in a 2-0 home win against Villarreal for the opening matchday of the Europa League group stage.[5] In the aftermath of his excellent output, several european clubs have expressed interest in signing him, while the demands of the greek club range higher than €10 million.[6]
Ioannidis finished the season with 23 goals and 9 assists in all competitions, which resulted in interest from numerous clubs, including Sporting and Girona. In mid-June 2024, newly promoted Ipswich Town offered a €22.5 million record fee for his services, but his team refused to enter negotiations. [7]
Personal life
Ioannidis’ father, Vasilios,[8] is a former professional international footballer from Thrylorio, Komotini. He played at the first division for Apollon Pontus, Olympiacos and Panionios.
