Chindia Târgoviște has secured the signing of 31-year-old midfielder Alexandru Albu, who joins the club on a two-year contract with an option for a further year, as part of their squad strengthening ahead of the new Liga II season[1][2][3]. Albu, who has extensive experience in Romania’s top flight with Rapid, Botoșani, UTA Arad, Chiajna, and international exposure in Saudi Arabia, is expected to bring leadership and stability to Târgoviște’s midfield during a critical rebuilding phase following their recent partnership with FC Barcelona[1][2].
This transfer follows Albu’s controversial departure from FC Botoșani after a physical altercation with a teammate, highlighting his resilience in continuing his career at a competitive level despite setbacks[3]. With over 170 appearances in Romania’s Superliga, Albu’s arrival bolsters Chindia’s ambitions to improve on last season’s struggles and aim for promotion back to the top tier[1][2].
