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]
