Career

Early career

He is a son of Kavala footballer Nikolaos Lyratzis. He was six years old when he first started training at Keravnos Krinidon. His family moved from Kavala to Thessaloniki in 2012 just for PAOK. It was here that Lefteris became a man, and here, where his two younger brothers also played football. Lyratzis can play both as right and left interior midfielder, can use both feet comfortably and score, has a great character and is a brilliant student. One of the U14s’ skippers last season, he distinguished himself in all tournaments that he participated with PAOK.[2] He has always been a ‘leader’ at PAOK. He won the championship with the Under-14s and Under-15s during the 2014–15 season, and also when playing for the Under-17s, with which he also won a league title. Then again with the Under-19s he was also a title winner in the 2017–18 and 2018–19 seasons. Lyratzis has also represented Greece at every youth level, but his best career memory to date is the goal he scored for PAOK against Paris Saint-Germain at the Lennart Johansson tournament at the age of 13.
