Andrei Virgil Ivan (Romanian pronunciation: [anˈdrej virˈd͡ʒil iˈvan]; born 4 January 1997) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Super League Greece club Panserraikos.

Ivan started out as a senior at Universitatea Craiova in 2014, and three and a half years later earned a €4 million transfer abroad to Russian Premier League side Krasnodar. He did not impose himself in Russia and was loaned for one season to Rapid Wien, before returning to Universitatea Craiova in the summer of 2019.

Ivan registered his senior debut for the Romania national team in November 2015, in a 1–1 exhibition draw with Italy.

Ivan began playing youth football at local Flacăra Moreni, before moving in 2011 to Sporting Pitești. On 30 December 2013, he joined Universitatea Craiova on a two-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[1] Ivan scored his first goal for the club on 28 May 2014, in a 2–0 home victory over ASA Târgu Mureș counting for the Liga II championship.[2] He made eight appearances during the season, as Craiova achieved promotion by winning its series.

On 2 August 2014, he netted his first Liga I goal by coming on as an 82nd-minute substitute in a 1–3 away loss to defending champions Steaua București.[3] In January 2016, Ivan rejected a move to the latter club, which had reached an agreement with Craiova for a transfer worth €2.15 million.[4] Several foreign teams were also interested in acquiring him[5] and Ivan revealed his dream of playing abroad.[6]

At the start of 2017, Ivan gained team captaincy following the departure of Bogdan Vătăjelu to Sparta Prague.[7]

Krasnodar

[edit | edit source]

On 17 July 2017, Ivan penned a five-year contract with Russian side FC Krasnodar for a rumoured transfer fee of €4 million and 25% interest.[8][9] He recorded his competitive debut on 20 August, after entering as an 84th-minute substitute for Viktor Claesson in a goalless Russian Premier League draw with Rostov.[10]

On 24 June 2018, Ivan joined Austrian Bundesliga club Rapid Wien on a year-long with a purchase option.[11] He totalled 40 appearances in all competitions throughout the season, of which eleven in the UEFA Europa League, and scored three goals. Upon his return to Krasnodar, he played one game for the reserves in the Russian National League, the second level of the Russian league system.

Return to Universitatea Craiova

[edit | edit source]

Universitatea Craiova announced the re-signing of Ivan on a four-year deal on 28 August 2019.[12] According to press, the Alb-albaștrii paid a €1.5 million transfer fee to bring him back to Oltenia.[13]

On 23 May 2021, Ivan claimed his first major honour after opening the scoring in a 3–2 victory over Astra Giurgiu in the Cupa României final.[14] On 10 July that year, he started in the 4–2 penalty shoot-out win over CFR Cluj in the subsequent Supercupa României.[15]

Amid reports linking him to Galatasaray,[16] Ivan scored all but one of his side's goals in a 5–2 defeat of Mioveni on 30 October 2021.[17] He finished the 2021–22 season with a career-best 14 goals in 33 league matches, and was also the top assist provider (eleven). He repeated the former performance in the following campaign, netting another 14 goals.
