Razvan Gabriel Marin (Romanian pronunciation: [rəzˈvan ɡabriˈel maˈrin]; born 23 May 1996) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Italian Serie A club Cagliari and the Romania national team.
He began his senior career with local club Viitorul Constanța at age 17, quickly establishing himself as a first-team regular. His performances earned him a move to Standard Liege at the start of 2017, where he won a Belgian Cup in his first year. Two and a half seasons later, Marin was transferred to Dutch team Ajax for a reported fee of €12.5 million, but did not impose himself and moved to Cagliari on an initial loan.
Marin made his full debut with Romania in 2016, after having previously represented the country at several youth levels.
