10 years of FIF#97 Andrei Radu
Date of Birth (Age): May 28, 1997 (21) - we share the same birthday
Place of Birth: Romania, Bucharest
Nationality: Romania
Height: 1,88 m
Position: Goalkeeper
Agent: Oscar Damiani
Current international: Romania U21
Caps/Goals: 11/0
Already the most expensive romanian GK in history. I was stunned to discover he didn`t have a thread here on FIF!! Let`s keep an eye on this lad, as he might become our future GK.
One great plus is that he was raised by our academy, so he has the home grown status.
Since he is fellow romanian, I feel that I have to translate for you his story.
Andrei Ionut Radu has been remarked since he was 11 years. In 2008 Steaua transferred him from Viitorul Bucharest for 12.000 euros. After just 3 years, Gigi Becali abolished Steaua Academy after making the decision to leave Ghencea Stadium {owned by the Romanian Army}. For the first time unhappy with the training conditions, significantly damaged by the owner's decision, Radu announced the leadership that he can not train in bad conditions and managed to leave contract free from the yard of the most successful club in Romanian football.
And so did Andrei Ionut Radu end up in the court of the Dinamo rivals after some intermediaries recommended the 14-year-old goalkeeper to Cristi Borcea {club owner at that time}. The former head of "dogs" on the "Stefan cel Mare" Road agreed to this transfer after his trusted people assured him that the kid was a young football player with great qualities and great future.
The adventure of the young goalkeeper at Dinamo lasted only one year. In 2013, Constantin Anghelache {I never heard of this guy LOL}, president under the "fresh" reign of Ionut Negoita, announced the goalkeeper's father that his son has no chances to reach the first team and will never impose himself at Dinamo. Following this, the father has contacted many agents and he eventually found a trick for his son to leave the contract from Dinamo.
" Inter will remain in my soul, and in the future nobody knows what will happen. At the age of 18, Mancini offered me the debut in Serie A with Inter, and I cannot forget such an evening: we were playing against Sassuolo when mister turned to me and told me to go warm up because I was going in. At first I did not even know if he was talking to me. " - Andrei Radu
Last season, Ionuţ Radu played as a loan to Avellino in Serie B, where he was used 22 times and helped the team in southern Italy to avoid relegation.
"Avellino was a great experience, I grew up from a human point of view in a difficult championship like Serie B," Radu explained, who also talked about his football models: "Handanovic is the example of a complete goalkeeper. He's strong in all respects and phenomenal for the attention he gives to every detail. I studied him during the trainings, and I also really like De Gea."
Genoa president Enrico Preziosi has shared his delight following Andrei Radu’s debut in the 2-0 win over Chievo Verona.
“He played an important game and I am happy because he is a goalkeeper who we made a €9 million investment and we believe in him very much,” Preziosi said post-match at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

Inter retained a buy-back clause, but I could not find anything about the amount stipulated in the agreement. Technically speaking, he is currently our player on LOAN at Genoa, but he will join Genoa on full ownership starting the summer of 2019 as there is an obligation to buy. This deal is related to Eddy Salcedo coming over on loan to us, with option to buy. I believe we will buy out Salcedo, it`s just masked as a LOAN deal not to generate impact on the financial year.
Feel free to hit that "Thanks" as it took me 1 hour of this sunny Saturday!
