Club career

Panathinaikos

Emmanouilidis joined Panathinaikos from the youth ranks of the team. He made his first professional appearance for the team in the 2017–18 Greek Cup game against Panachaiki on 29 November 2017. Over the summer of 2018, he attracted the interest of Europe’s top scouts at the Mediterranean Games where he scored 2 goals for the Greece U18 team as Greece finished top of the group ahead of Turkey and France and made the semi finals. Emmanouilidis scored against both of these countries. Interest from overseas teams peaked but Panathinaikos helf firm and kept him. This came after he scored 19 goals for the Panathinaikos U20 team.
In September 2018, he scored his first goal as a professional player, with a side-footed kick after being teed up by Argyris Kampetsis, in a 3–1 home win Super League game against Lamia, being the first player born in the 21st century to score in Greek Superleague. On the last matchday of the 2018–19 season, having come on as a substitute, Emmanouilidis completed the scoring in a 4–0 defeat of Panetolikos with the rebound from Nikos Giannakopoulos' blocked shot.

Loan to Panionios

With little prospect of first-team football at Panathinaikos after the arrival of Ghayas Zahid and Yohan Mollo, Emmanouilidis joined fellow Super League club Panionios on loan for the 2019–20 season. He scored twice in a 3–0 win away to Olympiacos Volos in the Greek Cup, and his first league goal for Panionios was an 88th-minute equaliser at home to Olympiacos on 23 November, having entered the game only eight minutes earlier. A week later he scored at the extra time sealing a vital 3–0 home win game against Panetolikos in his club effort to avoid relegation. On 15 December 2019, he opened the score in a 2–1 away loss against Volos. On 1 March 2020, Bachana Arabuli spread the ball across the box to Emmanouilidis who calmly tapped it into the empty net with Panagiotis Tsintotas helpless, to open the score in a 1–1 home draw against AEK Athens.
