Vlad Marin

Vlăduț Nicolae Marin is a Romanian footballer who plays as a left back for Alba.

Club career

Marin began his career in the academy of Italian side Lazio, where head coach Simone Inzaghi promoted him from under-17 level to Primavera, where he played alongside players older than him due to his high potential. Due to this experience, he was scouted and signed by English Premier League side Manchester City in 2012. Following the move, Lazio complained that Marin had been tapped up, with his agent, Dario Canovi, stating that the club should have asked themselves why Marin chose to leave. His spell with Manchester City lasted for one season before a return to Italy with Juventus.
In December 2020, after over a year without a club, he signed for Serie D side Fossano. He renewed his contract ahead of the 2022–23 season.

International career

Having not received a call-up to the Romanian national youth teams, Marin stated that he was "still Italian" in an August 2012 interview with Sport.ro. The following year, he was called up to represent Romania at under-19 level, and went on to make five appearances.
