Nicolae "Nicușor" Claudiu Stanciu (born 7 May 1993) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays mainly as an attacking midfielder for FC Steaua București.

Early life

Stanciu was born in the village of Craiva from Cricău, Alba County. He was raised mainly by his grandmother, who died in 2007 when he was only 14 years old. He dedicated his first senior national team goal to her.[1]

Club career

Unirea Alba Iulia

Stanciu joined FC Unirea Alba Iulia's youth system at the age of 11. On 25 May 2008, aged just 15 years and 18 days, he made his senior debut for the team, coming off from the bench in a 4–1 victory over FC Corvinul Hunedoara for the Liga II championship.[2] He spent the vast majority of the 2008–09 season on the sidelines, after suffering a long-term injury.[3]

On 1 May 2010, 17-year-old Stanciu made his Liga I debut by playing 20 minutes in a 2–1 home win against FC Steaua București.[4] In June, he was on trial with VfB Stuttgart,[5] but the economic discrepancies between the two clubs made the transaction collapse.[6]

On 20 March 2011, Stanciu scored his first goal for Unirea in a 3–0 success over FC Petrolul Ploiești, and he also wore the captain's armband in the closing stages of the match following Adrian Câmpeanu's substitution.[7] His last came on 20 August with the side again in the second division, in the campaign opener against CSM Râmnicu Vâlcea;[8] during his spell, other than Stuttgart, he was tracked by various European clubs, including Brescia Calcio,[9] Celtic[10] and TSG 1899 Hoffenheim.[11]

Vaslui

On 9 September 2011, FC Vaslui paid Stanciu's release clause.[12] Due to a transfer ban, "The Yellow-Greens" were initially unable to register the player and fellow league teams FC Dinamo București and FC Astra Giurgiu tried to sign him.[13] On 4 March 2012, in his competitive debut for his new club, he scored the 2–1 winner at Petrolul Ploiești.[14]

In May 2012, after a series of good performances, Stanciu was included by Sport.ro in a Top 10 list of Romanian youths to watch.[15] On 30 August, he netted from the penalty spot in a 2–2 away draw against Inter Milan for the play-off round of the UEFA Europa League,[16] but his side had lost 0–2 in the first leg.

Steaua București

On 27 March 2013, Steaua București announced the signing of Stanciu for an undisclosed fee, with the player agreeing to a five-year deal with a €20 million buyout clause.[17] He played all 12 matches in the 2013–14 edition of the UEFA Champions League, scoring in the 2–2 away draw against Legia Warsaw in the play-off round which assured qualification to the group stage.[18]

After the departure of Cristian Tănase in the summer of 2015, Stanciu took over his number 10 jersey,[19] also extending his contract in February 2016 until 2021.[20]

International career

Stanciu was selected in Romania's squad for the 2011 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.[21] In the tournament opener, he featured the full 90 minutes against the Czech Republic, scoring in a 1–3 loss[22] in an eventual group stage exit.

Stanciu gained his first cap for the full side on 23 March 2016, playing the second half of a friendly with Lithuania and netting the game's only goal at the Stadionul Marin Anastasovici.[23] On 17 May, he was picked by manager Anghel Iordănescu for his UEFA Euro 2016 squad.[24]
