Contents
Early career
Stafylidis started his football career at the age of 6 joining his village football team Aetos Akropotamou. At the age of twelve, PAOK scouts recognized his talent, and he joined the club's academies. Stafylidis has played for all PAOK youth teams.
Club career
PAOK
On 20 November Stafylidis made his Superleague debut in a match against Panetolikos at age of 17. He also gave his first assist in this game.[1]
Bayer Leverkusen
In the summer of 2012 and after his good performance at the 2012 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship, in which he was named one of the ten most talented players in the tournament, Stafylidis attracted attention from German club Bayer Leverkusen. After weeks of negotiations and due to PAOK's financial problem the team accepted a bid from Bayer Leverkusen.
Fulham (loan)
On 9 July 2014, Konstantinos Stafylidis has joined Fulham on a season-long loan from Bayer Leverkusen playing in English Championship. The Greek international made just one Bundesliga appearance last term as Sebastian Boenisch was preferred at left-back. He will now seek to make an impact in England as Felix Magath aims to guide Fulham back to the Premier League following last season's relegation. Fulham have the option to sign the 20-year-old permanently at the end of his loan spell. [2] [3] He had 44 appearances with the club in all competitions. At the end of the season he returned to Bayer Leverkusen.
Augsburg
Augsburg have signed for two years, Greek left-back Konstantinos Stafylidis from league rivals Bayer Leverkusen for an undisclosed fee, both Bundesliga clubs confirmed in official statements.[4] Stafylidis, 21, was on loan at Fulham last season but has now signed with Augsburg to 2017 with the option of extending the deal further. "I am delighted that my transfer worked out because I hope for more match practice in the Bundesliga. I want to help the team with my qualities and to improve myself," Stafylidis told the Augsburg homepage. [5] [6] On 22 August 2015, he made his debut with the club in an 1-1 away draw against Eintracht Frankfurt. On 12 October 2015, Stafylidis was injured in the game against Hungary. "It's a minor injury. I will be out for 20 days", he mentioned. [7] On 10 December 2015, he returned to the squad in a historic 3-1 away game against FK Partizan for UEFA Europa League, as they needing to score three and win by a two-goal margin, they were understandably on the front foot from the get-go. [8] On 6 February 2016, in an away 2-1 loss against Ingosltadt Stafylidis scored his first goal with the club with a wonderful kick, after taking the rebound outside the penalty area. It was his first goal for the season. [9] On 25 February 2016, in the second leg of the last 32 of UEFA Europa League, Stafylidis one minute before the final whistle, curls his free-kick over the wall but just wide of the upright. That was almost curtains for Liverpool that with James Milner’s early penalty was enough to book their place in the last 16 of the Europa League for the first time in five years at the expense of Augsburg. [10]
International career
He also played a major role in the Greek squad at the Under-19 European Champions and won a runners-up medal, after losing 1–0 to Spain U19.[11] Stafylidis made his debut with Greece national football team in a friendly match against Republic of Ireland on 14 November 2012, in which Greece won 1–0.[12] On 11 October 2015, he scored his first goal with Greece in a 4-3 home win against Hungary when he opened the score, scoring their first home goal of the campaign as he turned in a cross from Stelios Kitsiou at close range in the fifth minute.
