Giannis Masouras (Greek: Γιάννης Μασούρας; born 24 August 1996) is a Greek professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Cypriot First Division club Omonia.
Career
[edit]Early years
[edit]Masouras started his career with his local Patras-based amateur club Atromitos. On 1 July 2013 he signed his first professional contract with Football League club Panachaiki.[1] He remained at the team for two seasons mostly playing for the youth squad, making a total of 13 league appearances. He also competed successfully in the track and field team of Panachaiki as a runner.[2] On 23 July 2015, he signed a three-year contract with AEL for an undisclosed fee.[3] The 21-year-old player scored three goals (all in Greek Cup) in 29 official performances in all domestic competitions during 2017–18 season.
Olympiacos
[edit]On 28 June 2018, he signed with Olympiacos for a reported fee of €1 million. AEL would retain a 10% resale rate for any future sale of the player to exceed a €1 million fee.
On 27 September 2018, he made his debut with the club in a 1–0 win Greek Cup home game against Levadiakos.
On 4 February 2019, after Masouras was underutilized by manager Pedro Martins, he was allowed to join Panionios on loan for the remainder of the season.[4] On 21 April 2019, Masouras opened the scoring in a 2–1 home win game against PAS Giannina. On the edge of the penalty area, the Olympiacos loanee thumped an unstoppable attempt into the top right corner to give Panionios the lead within seven minutes.[5]
On 27 August 2019, his loan to Panionios was extended until the summer of 2020,[6] but also rejoined AEL during the 2020–21 season.
On 26 August 2020, as Masouras was not in the plans of Olympiacos' coach Pedro Martins, he was sent on loan again, this time joining Ekstraklasa club Górnik Zabrze until the summer of 2021.[7] On 1 September 2021, Eredivisie club Sparta Rotterdam announced the agreement with Olympiakos for a long season loan.[8]
Miedź Legnica
[edit]On 4 January 2023, he left Olympiacos permanently and returned to Poland, signing a year-and-a-half deal with Miedź Legnica.[9] On 19 May 2023, with the club already set for relegation with two matchdays left, he terminated his contract by mutual consent.[10]
Astana
[edit]On 10 February 2024, Kazakhstan Premier League club Astana announced the signing of Masouras from AE Kifisia to a two-year contract.[11] On 7 June 2024, Astana announced that Masouras had left the club by mutual agreement after failing to adapt to life in Kazakhstan.[12]
