Darius Olaru
Darius Dumitru Olaru (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈdari.us oˈlaru]; born 3 March 1998) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Liga I club FCSB, which he captains, and the Romania national team.
After starting out at his hometown side Gaz Metan Mediaș, for which he amassed over 100 appearances in the Romanian top flight, Olaru transferred to FCSB in 2020. He won the Cupa României in his first season at the club, and claimed back-to-back national titles in the 2023–24 and 2024–25 campaigns.
Internationally, Olaru represented the Romania under-21 team in two editions of the UEFA European Championship, in 2019 and 2021. He then made his full debut for the country in June 2021, in a 1–2 friendly loss to Georgia, and was selected in the squad for Euro 2024, where they reached the round of 16.
Olaru made his senior debut for Gaz Metan Mediaș on 29 August 2015, appearing in a 2–1 away win over UTA Arad in the second division. He amassed twelve games and scored two goals during the campaign, as his hometown club returned to the Liga I after only one year of absence.
Olaru recorded his debut in the latter competition on 19 September 2016, in a 2–0 victory against defending champions Astra Giurgiu. On 23 May 2017, he scored his first league goal from the penalty spot in a 3–0 defeat of Concordia Chiajna.
In early 2018, Olaru signed a precontract with fellow Liga I side FCSB, but the move initially fell through after a transfer fee could not be agreed upon. In May the following year, the capital-based reinstated its interest and signed him for an undisclosed sum, with the deal seeing him join up with the squad at the start of 2020. FCSB reportedly outbid CFR Cluj for the transfer of Olaru, where he was highly regarded by manager Dan Petrescu.
Olaru was officially unveiled as a FCSB player on 7 January 2020, and was assigned the number 27 jersey. He made his first appearance for the Roș-albaștrii in a 0–1 loss to CFR Cluj on 2 February, and four days later scored the opener in a 2–1 win over Voluntari.
On 27 August 2020, Olaru made his debut in European competitions by starting and scoring in the 3–0 win over Shirak counting for the UEFA Europa League first qualifying round. Following the conclusion of his first full season at the club, during which he played 30 matches and netted seven times in the league, he was named to the 2020–21 Liga I Team of the Season by the Liga Profesionistă de Fotbal.
