Marius Mihai Marin (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈmari.us miˈhaj maˈrin]; born 30 August 1998) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Serie B club Pisa and the Romania national team.

Marin moved to Italy in 2016, aged 18, when Sassuolo transferred him from hometown side ASU Politehnica Timișoara. After three years under contract with the Neroverdi, during which he was also loaned out to Catanzaro and Pisa, he decided to sign for the latter club on a permanent basis.

Internationally, he represented Romania at under-21 and under-23 levels before making his full debut in September 2021.

Club career[]

Early career[]

ACS Poli Timișoara head coach Dan Alexa handed Marin his senior debut on 23 May 2015, at age 16, in a 5–0 away victory over Unirea Tărlungeni counting for the Liga II championship.[1] The following campaign, Marin moved to ASU Politehnica Timișoara—the other club founded after the dissolution of the original FC Politehnica—and participated in the third division, which they went on win.[2]

During late August 2016, Marin transferred abroad to Sassuolo. He had been training in Italy for one month, but only signed the four-year contract after turning 18.[3] He spent his first season with the Primavera side, after which he agreed to a one-year loan deal with Catanzaro in the Serie C.

Pisa[]

Marin was again loaned out for the 2018–19 season, this time to Pisa. He aided them to achieve promotion to the second division, and on 31 July 2019 returned to the Arena Garibaldi on a full transfer.[4] Marin scored his first career goal on 3 July 2020, in a 2–0 Serie B win over Cittadella.[5]

During early 2021, it was reported that several teams from the Italian top tier were monitoring his progress,[6] as well as two of the title contenders from his native country, CFR Cluj and FCSB.[7] On 20 October 2021, Marin signed a contract extension which would run until 2025.

International career[]

Marin registered his debut for the Romania under-21s on 10 October 2019, in a 3–0 win over Ukraine counting for the 2021 UEFA European Championship qualifiers; he received a red card just one minute after entering the field.[8] Manager Adrian Mutu called up Marin for the final tournament hosted by Hungary and Slovenia,[9] and he captained the side in the first two group games before missing the last one through a suspension.[10] Romania failed to progress despite finishing with the same number of points as the Netherlands and Germany.[11]

Marin was then named in the squad for the postponed 2020 Summer Olympics,[12] where he continued to serve as captain and played all three matches in the eventual group-stage exit. He made his full debut for Romania on 5 September 2021, coming on as a 63rd-minute substitute for Darius Olaru in a 2–0 World Cup qualifier defeat of Liechtenstein.[13]

Personal life[]

Marin has stated that his parents struggled financially so he could practise youth football, and thus used the first money he earned in Italy to build a house for them.[14]
