Panathinaikos

On 16 February 2020, Vagiannidis made his professional debut and scored his first goal, dishing out an assist as his team breezed past Panetolikos 3–1 at the Olympic Stadium. On mid May 2020, Italian giants Inter have expressed official interest in acquiring the talented young player of Panathinaikos. The 18-year-old right-back had recently reached a verbal agreement with Panathinaikos to sign a new contract, but talks came to a halt due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Inter Milan
On 5 June 2020, Vagiannidis has penned a four-year contract with Inter of Serie A. Inter will not need to negotiate with Panathinaikos to land Vagiannidis and will only have to pay a FIFA determined compensation amount of €400,000. The Greek full-back will reportedly earn around €300,000 per year in Milan.

Loan to Sint-Truiden
On 1 October 2020, Vagiannidis signed with Sint-Truiden on loan. On 3 February 2021, he made his debut with the new club in Belgian Cup against Lokeren-Temse at the Daknamstadion in the season 2020–21.
