Florin Lucian Tănase (Romanian pronunciation: [floˈrin lut͡ʃiˈan təˈnase]; born 30 December 1994) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder or a forward for Liga I club FCSB, which he captains, and the Romania national team.

He started out as a senior in the third league at Voluntari, where he was loaned from Viitorul Constanța in 2013. Tănase went on to appear in over 80 games in all competitions for the latter, before transferring to FCSB in 2016.

Internationally, he made his full debut for Romania in a 1–0 friendly victory over Albania in May 2014, aged 19.

Club career[]

Viitorul Constanța[]

On 23 February 2014, aged 19, Tănase scored his first Liga I goal in Viitorul Constanța's 2–1 away win against Dinamo București.[1]

FCSB[]

On 8 August 2016, FC Steaua București signed Tănase on a five-year deal for a reported €1.5 million transfer fee, with his former club retaing 25% interest on a future move.[2][3] He was assigned the number 10 jersey and scored on debut four days later, his goal aiding to a 2–0 away victory over Botoșani.[4]

Tănase netted his first European goal for the Roș-albaștrii on 2 August 2017, in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round 4–1 away victory over Viktoria Plzeň.[5] In the 2020–21 Liga I season he scored 24 times, becoming the league's top scorer and being named in the Team of the Year.[6]

International career[]

On 31 May 2014, Tănase earned his first cap for Romania in a 1–0 win over Albania by entering as an 83rd-minute substitute for Alexandru Maxim.[7] He appeared intermittently for the nation in the following years, as he only scored his first goal on 25 March 2021, in a 3–2 defeat of North Macedonia in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying stage.[8]

Style of play[]

Tănase is a versatile footballer who can occupy several positions along the front-line, but has stated that prefers to be deployed as an advanced playmaker.[9] Romanian manager and former player Gheorghe Hagi regarded him as one of the most promising talents of his generation;[10] in spite of that, Tănase has been accused by opponents and media alike of excessive diving, especially during his time at FCSB.[11][12][13]
