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, as a substitute, he headed the only goal of a last-minute 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, Ioannidis 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 impressive performance, several European clubs expressed interest in Ioannidis, with Panathinaikos demanding offers 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]

International career

Ioannidis netted a brace against Finland in Greece's first game in the UEFA Nations League campaign on 7 September 2024. [8]

Personal life

Ioannidis’ father, Vasilios, is a former professional international footballer from Thrylorio, Komotini. He played in the first division for Apollon Pontus, Olympiacos and Panionios. [9]
