In recent weeks, Romanian football fans have been buzzing about the transfer of Darius Olaru, the 28-year-old midfielder, to Royale Union Saint-Gilloise. The move has sparked lively discussions, and former FCSB captain Daniel Niculae has shared his thoughts on the matter.
Darius Olaru’s Decision: A Step Forward or a Leap of Faith?
According to Niculae, Olaru has made the right choice by choosing to join the Belgian champions. The former Hermannstadt president believes that the midfielder’s decision to prioritize his career development over a potentially more lucrative contract was a wise one.
“I think he has made a good decision,” Niculae said in an interview. “It’s not an easy transition, especially in the first six months. He’s changing country, team, and environment. It’s a big step forward for him, and we wish him all the best.”

Olaru’s departure from FCSB marks the end of a six-year journey that saw him become an integral part of the team. The midfielder joined the club in 2020 from Gaz Metan Mediaș and quickly established himself as a key player. During his time at FCSB, Olaru played 256 official matches, contributing to 108 goals, and winning five trophies, including two Romanian league titles.
The Belgian Challenge
The transfer to Union Saint-Gilloise presents an exciting opportunity for Darius Olaru to test himself in a new and competitive environment. The Belgian league is known for its high level of football, and Olaru will face stiff competition to establish himself as a regular starter.
Niculae believes that Olaru’s experience will be a valuable asset for the Romanian national team and other clubs in the country. “If he succeeds, it will open doors for other Romanian players to join Belgian clubs,” he said.
As Olaru starts a new chapter in his career, fans and pundits alike will be watching closely to see how he adapts to the challenges of the Belgian league.
