32 yeard old Romanian International goalkeeper, currently on loan from Dynamo Bucharest.
Known for his sharp reflexes, for which he was nicknamed “The Cat”, he does very well between the posts and is a very experienced goalkeeper, with success both at club and at international level.
Started his career at hometown club Corvinul Hunedoara, before moving to Romanian giants Dynamo Bucharest. Here he enjoyed massive success which led him to becoming a regular at the Romanian national team. Later he would move to Ajax, where his career was curbed by injuries and lack of first-team football, but his quality prevailed and he ended up grabbing the starting position on goal.
He then had a spell with Fiorentina, where he did well at first, but then lost his place to Frey, which also cost him the starting position in the national team. He pushed for a return to Dynamo Bucharest to have a chance of regular football. At the beginning of this season, Roma snatched him on loan from Dynamo Bucharest, with an option to purchase him at the end of the season.
