Anton Ciprian Tătărușanu (born 9 February 1986 in Bucharest) is a Romanian footballer currently playing as a goalkeeper for Steaua București.
Club career
Tătărușanu began his football career with Liga II club Juventus București.
Steaua București
On 26 May 2008, he signed a five-year contract with Steaua București, with a reported transfer fee of around €1,5m. The move from Gloria Bistrița was completed after 2008–09 Liga I as Steaua already had a starting goalkeaper in Robinson Zapata.
On 16 July 2009, Tătărușanu made his European debut in the 2–0 victory for Steaua in UEFA Europa League against Újpest FC. On 2 August 2009 he played his first Liga I match in Steaua's shirt against Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț, in a game in which Steaua won away with 2–0.
On 19 August 2010, he saved two penalty shots against Grasshopper Club Zürich in the shootout of the 2010–11 Europa League Play-off, from Boris Smiljanić and Endogan Adili, to help his team through to the next stage.
In June 2011, Napoli offered €3 million for the player, but the offer was rejected.[1]
International career
On August 2009, Tătărușanu was called up by Răzvan Lucescu in the Romanian squad against Hungary.
He made his international debut against Italy on 17 November 2010, in a 1–1 draw. He has since become the first choice goalkeeper for his national team.
