Daniel George Paraschiv (born 24 April 1999) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Segunda División club Cultural Leonesa, on loan from La Liga club Oviedo.
Club career
[edit | edit source]Early career
[edit | edit source]Paraschiv emerged from his hometown club FC Brașov's youth system, where he played until it folded in 2017. That year, he made his senior debut with Viitorul Ghimbav in the third division. He also had a stint at AFC Hărman before joining Liga II side Luceafărul Oradea for the 2018–19 season,[1] amassing 33 appearances and scoring 14 goals in the league.
In the summer of 2019, Paraschiv moved to fellow Liga II team Viitorul Târgu Jiu, though he only featured in two matches during his initial season in Oltenia. He regained his form in the 2020–21 season, scoring 13 goals from 29 matches across all competitions.
CFR Cluj
[edit | edit source]Liga I club CFR Cluj announced the signing of Paraschiv on 11 June 2021,[2][3] but the following month he was loaned out to Voluntari,[4] also in the top flight. He recorded his Liga I debut on 19 July, in a 2–3 away loss to Dinamo București.
Paraschiv netted his only Voluntari goal on 21 September 2021, in a 4–1 defeat of Șomuz Fălticeni in the Cupa României. On 10 January 2022, he returned to the second division on loan at Hermannstadt,[5] where he scored six goals in 13 appearances and helped the team secure promotion to Liga I.
Hermannstadt
[edit | edit source]In June 2022, Paraschiv signed a three-year contract to join Hermannstadt on a permanent basis.[6] He scored his first Liga I goal on 15 July, in a 3–0 success over Mioveni. By the end of the year, Paraschiv netted eight more times, including goals against title contenders FCSB, Universitatea Craiova, and CFR Cluj, respectively.
In February 2023, Ukrainian Premier League club Dynamo Kyiv bid €1.2 million for the transfer of Paraschiv, which Hermannstadt accepted.[7] However, Paraschiv rejected the move because of the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.[8]
Paraschiv scored 14 league goals in the 2022–23 season, and added eleven more in the following campaign.
Oviedo
[edit | edit source]On 13 July 2024, Paraschiv agreed to a three-year contract with Segunda División club Real Oviedo.[9] The deal was reportedly worth €750,000 plus 25% interest on any future transfer.[10]
Paraschiv scored his first goal on his seventh league appearance for Oviedo, a 4–1 home win over Mirandés on 22 October 2024.
Loan to Cultural Leonesa
[edit | edit source]On 1 August 2025, Paraschiv was loaned to Cultural Leonesa in the second division, for one year.[11]
International career
[edit | edit source]Paraschiv made his debut for the Romania national team on 20 November 2022, coming on as a 70th-minute substitute for George Pușcaș in a 5–0 friendly thrashing of Moldova. After only one minute, he scored his side's fourth goal by converting a penalty kick.[12]
Personal life
[edit | edit source]Paraschiv's parents and brother were born in the Republic of Moldova.[12]
