Club career

PAOK

The Keeper began his career at

Jacobo preferred, before being handed the first team reins in November. Glykos grabbed the opportunity with both hands, starting all but two of the remaining fixtures and forcing his way into Fernando Santos’s squad for Brazil.[2]

Glykos named as the best player of PAOK in January and February as a result of the ballot held every month at the official site of the fans. At the announcement is stated: "In football you ought to be always ready to seize the opportunity whenever it is given to you. Panagiotis proved ready! He took his gloves after basic disciplinary misconduct of the basic goalkeeper

Jacobo and has been one of the revelations of the season. Consistently good, with sure and effective interventions, is undoubtedly the best Greek goalkeeper and one of the best players of PAOK in the season."[3]

On May 13, 2014 after his best year in his career with 40 games with the club in all competitions, Glykos received a proposal to renew his contract which expires in 2015. The club wants to "bind" the international keeper, who is candidate to be among the three keepers for the World Cup in Brazil, for another two years. The report also states that the proposal reaches €250,000 per year and the release clause reaches €2.5 million. However, the 27-year-old keeper is looking for an opportunity abroad.[4]

On 29 July 2014, Glykos seemed to reach an agreement with PAOK for a three-year contract.[5][6] As he started as the first choice for the starting XI in the 2014–15 season, Glykos gradually lost his place from Charles Itandje, as a result of strained abdominal muscle injury that kept him out of the team for a month.

He started the 2015–16 season, hoping that will be the indisputable first goalie for the club. On July 1, PAOK decided to sign a contract with

Iraklis
, Glykos reached 100 appearances with the jersey of PAOK.

Despite his injury, Glykos made his most mature
season of his career (47 appearances in all competitions), with yet another special accolade, as he earned teammates' appreciation as he voted Players' Player of the Year.[14]

On 11 February 2018, Glykos returned to the squad after a difficult recovery process (260 days to be exact) from his ruptured ACL injury. The 31-year-old goalie was included in the match squad ahead of

PAOK

PAOK keeper comes into the tournament in solid form, keeping a clean sheet once every three Greek Super League games during the 2013–14 season.
