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. 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.
Panathinaikos
On 10 August 2020, Panathinaikos officially announced the purchase of the young striker, who signed a four-year contract with the club. On 10 February 2022, an MLS club offered more than €2 million for his services, but the offer was rejected.
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. In the aftermath of his impressive performance, several European clubs expressed interest in Ioannidis, with Panathinaikos demanding offers higher than €10 million.
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.
International career
Ioannidis netted a brace against Finland in Greece's first game in the UEFA Nations League campaign on 7 September 2024.
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.
