Club career

Early career

[edit | edit source]

Born in Volos, Limnios started his football career at home-town club Niki Volos, before joining the youth academy of Atromitos in 2012.[2]

Atromitos

[edit | edit source]

In 2014, Limnios was called up to the Atromitos first team. At the age of 16, on 16 October 2014, he made his Super League Greece debut against Ergotelis at Peristeri Stadium, replacing Andreas Tatos in the 84th minute.[3] He became the third-youngest player to ever appear in the Greek top-tier (after Kyriakos Papadopoulos and Kostas Antoniou); he later made his European debut against AIK in the Europa League second qualifying round.[citation needed]

On 4 December 2016, Limnios scored his first goal for Atromitos in a 2–1 away league win over AEL.[4]

PAOK

[edit | edit source]

On 6 April 2017, Atromitos announced that they had reached an agreement for the permanent transfer of Limnios to fellow Greek club PAOK, starting from the 2017–18 season, for a reported fee of €900,000 and a 15% sell-on clause on future sales.[5][6]

On 20 August 2017, Limnios made his debut for PAOK, starting in a goalless away draw against Levadiakos.[7] On 29 November, he scored his first goal in a 5–0 away Greek Cup win against Aiginiakos.[citation needed] On 8 August 2018, he scored a goal in a 3–2 home win over Spartak Moscow in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round.[8] On 29 October, he scored just 30 seconds after replacing Diego Biseswar in the second-half of a 2–0 home win over Panathinaikos.[9]

On 29 August 2019, he scored a goal in a 3–2 win over Slovan Bratislava in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League play-offs; however, Slovan progressed on away goals due to the final 3–3 score on aggregate.[10]

1. FC Köln

[edit | edit source]

On 7 September 2020, 1. FC Köln reached an agreement with PAOK to sign Limnios on a four-year contract, for a reported fee of €3.3 million.[11] The Greek Super League side also obtained a 15% sell-on clause of any future transfer.[11] Köln officially announced the arrival of Limnios two weeks later.[12]

In August 2021, Limnios was sent out on a season-long loan to Dutch club Twente.[13] On 23 September 2021, he scored his first goal for the club in a 3-1 home league win over AZ Alkmaar.[14] He scored eight goals and two assists in 33 appearances for Twente.[15]

On 25 February 2023, he returned to action with Köln's reserve team, eight and a half months after suffering an ACL injury.[15]

Panathinaikos

[edit | edit source]

On 29 December 2023, Limnios joined Greek Super League club Panathinaikos on a permanent deal, signing a contract until June 2027.[16][17]

On 21 February 2024, Limnios scored a goal in the 120+9 minute to force the Greek Cup semifinal against PAOK to go to penalties, where Panathinaikos ended up winning and advancing to the final.

Loan to Fortuna Sittard

[edit | edit source]

On 16 July 2025, Limnios returned to the Netherlands and joined Fortuna Sittard on loan with an option to buy.[18]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Limnios has represented his country at various age groups. He was capped for Greece at Under-19 level. It was while on international duty, scoring a hat-trick against Moldova U19, that he was spotted by U.C. Sampdoria. He visited the Serie A club for a week's training in 2014.

He was a member of Greece U17 national team in the 2015 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. In the competition, he played nine games and scored two goals including qualification round.[19] Since March 2016, he has been member of Greece national under-19 football team and played in 2017 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualification.[20] On 16 March 2018, he called up to the Greece national team by Michael Skibbe for the friendly match against Switzerland on 23 March 2018.

On 15 November 2019, Limnios scored the only goal of the game after 35 minutes of the UEFA Euro 2020 qualifier against Armenia.[21] On 9 June 2022, Limnios at the last minute of a 2022–23 UEFA Nations League game against Cyprus suffered a cruciate ligament rupture, and according to doctors' estimations will be out for at least six to seven months.[22]
