Bouchalakis started his football career attending theErgotelis Academy, theyouth system of his localSuperleague clubErgotelis. His performances with the club's youth teams in theGreek Superleague Youth Leagues led the club's board of directors to promote him to the first team on 19 May 2011, when he signed his first professional contract with the club at the age of 18.[2] He eventually made his debut on 11 December 2011, in a game againstDoxa Drama.[3]
During the summer of 2012, Bouchalakis earned the trust of managerSiniša Gogić and became a regular starter for the club during their short tenure in theGreek Football League. His good performances reportedly drew the attention of many clubs, both in Greece and abroad. Eventually, Greek giantsOlympiacos acquired his rights from Ergotelis on 22 March 2013 for a reported €150,000, following up on the acquisition of Bouchalakis' Ergotelis teammateManolis Tzanakakis.[4][5] As part of the deal, both players were allowed to finish the season with Ergotelis, who also acquired the right re-sign both players on loan in the following season. Bouchalakis was instrumental in helping the club return to the Superleague at the end of the2012–13 season, summing up 40 caps in both the Football League andGreek Cup competitions and managing to score 6 goals while supplying two assists.
After Bouchalakis' and Tzanakakis' transfers were announced by Olympiacos, the club's board of directors decided to green-light the loan deal with Ergotelis, who added both players to their roster for the2013–14 Superleague season in order for them to receive substantial playing time in top-flight in a familiar environment.[6] Bouchalakis contributed to Ergotelis' all-time best (at the time) 7th-place finish with 30 caps and 2 goals. He returned to Olympiacos in the summer of 2014 to earn a spot in the champions' roster for next season.
Bouchalakis scored from long distance in a 3–0 win againstAC Milan in the2014 International Champions Cup.[7]
On the beginning of the 2015–16 season, Bouchalakis tried his best to convince his coachMarco Silva to stay in the club.[8] His contract was extended in 2016 until the summer of 2020.[9]
After a trial in pre-season, Bouchalakis signed a 3-year contract withEFL Championship clubNottingham Forest in July 2017. As Forest and Olympiacos had the same owner, there was no transfer fee.[10] He scored twice on his league debut as Forest won 4–3 away toBrentford on 12 August.[11] He played regularly in the first half of the season but lost his place under new managerAitor Karanka.[12]
Bouchalakis rejoined Olympiacos in July 2018.[citation needed] On 23 August 2018, he scored with a header fromKostas Fortounis' free kick to help Olympiacos beatBurnley 3–1 at home in the first leg of the2018–19 Europa League play-off round; it was his first goal in UEFA competitions.[13][14] On 31 March 2019, he scored his first goal of the2018–19 Super League season to beatAtromitos 2–1.[14] On 1 March 2020, Bouchalakis latched on to the secondMathieu Valbuena's assist in the game, to score a second for Olympiacos in a 2–0 home game againstPanetolikos, head into the2019–20 playoffs with an undefeated 26 matches' record. It was his first goal for the season.[15]
On 31 August 2023, Bouchalakis signed a two-year contract withHertha BSC in Germany.[16] On 16 May 2025, Hertha announced that Bouchalakis would leave the club upon the expiry of his contract on June 30.
