Romanian footballer (born 2005)
Mihnea Gabriel Rădulescu (born 17 September 2005) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Liga I club Universitatea Craiova.
A youth product of his hometown club Petrolul Ploiești, Rădulescu made his senior debut on 15 May 2022, coming on as a 74th-minute substitute for Saim Tudor in a goalless Liga II away draw against Unirea Slobozia. He made his professional debut on 10 April 2023, replacing Jair in the 90th minute of a 2–0 home Liga I victory over Mioveni.[1]
On 23 January 2024, Rădulescu was loaned to Liga II side Gloria Buzău for the remainder of the season.[2] He scored his first career goal on 25 February, in a 5–1 away win over Progresul Spartac, and added three more goals in a total of eleven appearances during the loan spell.
Upon returning to Ploiești, Petrolul manager Mehmet Topal handed Rădulescu his first league start on 16 August 2024, in a 2–1 away victory over Unirea Slobozia, where he opened the scoring.[3] On 27 September, he scored his first brace in a 4–1 home win against Hermannstadt.[4] He finished the 2024–25 Liga I season with 35 appearances and five goals, as his team placed ninth in the league table.
Universitatea Craiova
[edit]
On 20 May 2025, Rădulescu transferred to fellow league club Universitatea Craiova for a rumoured fee of €400,000 plus 15% interest.[5][6] He made his official debut on 12 July 2025, starting in a 3–3 away draw at UTA Arad in the season opener, and six days later scored in a 3–1 home win over Argeș Pitești.[7]
International career
[edit]
In October 2024, Rădulescu was called up to the Romania national under-21 team for the final UEFA Euro 2025 qualifiers.[8] He debuted as a substitute and scored in a 6–2 win over Montenegro on 11 October, and played in the 3–1 victory against Switzerland four days later, helping Romania qualify for their fourth consecutive European Under-21 Championship.[9]
Rădulescu is a dynamic left-footed footballer who operates as a winger, favoring the right flank to capitalize on his ability to cut inside. He stated that “the hardest football is simple football”, reflecting his commitment to effective and straightforward play.[10]
Rădulescu cited Lionel Messi and compatriot Gheorghe Hagi as his role models growing up.[11]
Rădulescu’s elder brother is a tourist guide, and their father played football in the lower leagues of Prahova County.[8]
