Professionally, Charisteas firstly played for [[Aris FC|Aris]] [[Thessaloniki]], in Greece. He was signed from German Bundesliga side Werder Bremen in December [[2004]], after both leagues went on their annual winter break, thereby opening the transfer window. He was largely a fringe player at Bremen before Euro 2004, and his heroics did not change his status there, as he was the team's fourth-choice striker. Greece national team coach [[Otto Rehhagel]] publicly urged Charisteas to try to move to another club during the January [[2005]] transfer window in order to get first-team action. He joined Ajax Amsterdam in the Dutch Eredivisie.

The deal was logical for both clubs. Bremen wished to raise money and clear payroll in order to make a bid for Monaco striker Shabani Nonda. For its part, Ajax was hoping to find a replacement for Swedish international striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was sold to Juventus before the 2004-05 season. After Ajax, Charisteas moved to Feyenoord Rotterdam where he played until the end of the [[2007]] season. In July [[2007]], he was signed by FC Nurnberg.
