PAOK

[edit]

During the 2022 preseason, several scouts were impressed with his output in a friendly game against Heerenveen and asked to know his availability, with the club's officials responding with a €15 million price.[2]

He made his official debut in a home win against Panetolikos, which ended as a 1–0 win, on 20 August 2022.[3] In his first competitive season with the club, Koulierakis managed to gain a position in the starting line-up, making 31 appearances in all competitions, attracting interest from big European teams, including Fiorentina.[4]

On 14 March 2024, he scored a brace in a home match against Dinamo Zagreb along with one assist securing a 5–1 win (5–3 on aggregate) and qualification to the Quarter-Finals of UEFA Europa Conference League 2023–24. He was declared man of the match.

Wolfsburg

[edit]

On 20 August 2024 he signed with Wolfsburg in Germany. The clubs agreed to postpone the transfer until 29 August 2024, after PAOK finished their Europa League play-off games.[5]
