Răzvan Gabriel Marin (Romanian pronunciation: [rəzˈvan ɡabriˈel maˈrin]; born 23 May 1996) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Belgian club Standard Liège and the Romania national team.
Marin started his senior career in 2013 with local club Viitorul Constanța at the age of 17. He established himself as a first-team regular, and transferred to Standard Liège in 2017.
Marin made his debut with Romania in 2016,[1] after having previously represented the country at youth levels.
Club career
Early years / Viitorul Constanța
Born in Bucharest, Marin started playing football at the age of 6 with local Pro Luceafărul, and joined the academy of Viitorul Constanța seven years later.[2] He made his professional debut with the latter club on 18 October 2013, in a 0–4 Liga I away loss against Steaua București.[3]
During his spell in Constanța, Marin amassed competitive totals of 85 games and ten goals.
Standard Liège
On 20 January 2017, Marin signed a 4 1⁄2-year contract with Belgian side Standard Liège.[4][5] Romanian press initially reported the transfer value at €2.4 million,[6] but the real figure was eventually revealed to be lower.[7] He made his first Belgian First Division A appearance two days later, coming on as an 80th-minute substitute in a 0–3 loss to Club Brugge at the Stade Maurice Dufrasne.[8]
On 8 April, Marin scored his first goal for Les Rouches in a 2–2 league draw against Sint-Truiden.[9]
International career
In September 2016, 20-year-old Marin was selected in Romania's senior squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Montenegro.[10] On 8 October, for the same competition, he earned his first cap and scored a goal in a 5–0 away victory over Armenia.[1]
Personal life
Marin's father, Petre, was also a Romanian international.[11]
