After playing for Napoli for a number of years, the North Macedonian established himself in Italy. Under Luciano Spalletti's guidance, he joined the Partenopei in 2019 and was a member of the team that won the Scudetto championship in 2022–2023. The 25-year-old was regarded as a valuable member of the team despite not being a consistent starter because of his flexibility and ability to score crucial goals. After a turbulent season at the Stadio Maradona, Elmas completed a €24 million move to Leipzig in January 2024. But for now, the offensive midfielder is having a terrible season in Germany. In all competitions, he has only made six appearances, none of which have been as a starter.
The North Macedonia international may be looking to leave in January in order to restart his playing career, and Lazio is keeping an eye on him, according to TuttoMercatoWeb.
