Club Career

Early career

Elmas started his career at FK Rabotnicki in his native Macedonia. After a stand-out season in which he scored 6 league goals and lead Rabotnicki to a third place finish in the Macedonian First Football League in 2016–17, he joined Turkish giants Fenerbahce on a deal until 2022, with Fenerbahce paying the former €300,000 for his services. The attacking midfielder went on to score four goals in over 40 appearances for the Yellow Canaries in all competitions before moving to Italy in July 2019.

Napoli

On 24 July 2019, Serie A side S.S.C. Napoli announced the signing of Elmas from Fenerbahce. The deal was worth a reported €16 million, which could rise to €19 million in total with bonuses – including a €1.5 million sell-on fee clause. He was disciplined by his new club after speaking to reporters while away on international duty in November 2019 for breaching a club media blackout.

Elmas scored his first Napoli goal on 3 February 2020 to help the club to a 4–2 victory over Sampdoria, and secure their third win in a row in all competitions.
