Johannes Geis (pronounced as /de/; born 17 August 1993) is a German professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder.
Geis made his Bundesliga debut for 1. FSV Mainz 05 at 11 August 2013 in a 3–2 home win against VfB Stuttgart. On 17 August 2013, he provided an assist to Niki Zimling's opening goal in a 1–2 away win against SC Freiburg.
On 23 June 2015, Geis joined FC Schalke 04 on a four-year deal for a fee in the region of €12 million.[2] [3]
On 8 August, he marked his competitive debut by scoring in a 5–0 win at MSV Duisburg in the first round of the DFB-Pokal.[4]
Geis was sent off for a horrible studs-up challenge on André Hahn in a 3–1 defeat to Borussia Mönchengladbach on 25 October which resulted in a five-match ban for Geis, and left Hahn requiring surgery for a fractured tibia and a lateral meniscus tear.[5] However, Geis was still allowed to play Europa League matches, in which he equalized from the penalty spot against Sparta Prague on 5 November in a 1–1 draw.[6]
On 1 September 2017, Geis joined Spanish club Sevilla on a season-long loan deal, which includes a buyout option for €8 million.[7]
On 13 January 2019, Geis signed a contract with 1. FC Köln until the end of the season.[8] In spite of a moderately successful time at Köln, the club announced that they would not offer him a contract extension, making him a free agent from July.[9] He left the club at the end of the season.
On 23 July 2024, the contract between Geis and 1. FC Nürnberg was terminated by mutual consent after 5 seasons at the club.[10]
Geis made his debut for Germany U21 against France U21 on 13 August 2013 in a friendly game in Freiburg im Breisgau. He replaced Emre Can at half-time.
He represented the under-21 team at the 2015 European Championship in the Czech Republic, starting 1 match and coming on as a substitute in another. Geis made a substitute appearance, coming on for Can in the 77th minute, in their second group match at the Eden Arena in Prague against Denmark, in a 3–0 victory.[11]
