Mihai Marian Aioani (born 7 November 1999) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Liga I club Farul Constanța.

Club career

Aioani started his senior career with Chindia Târgoviște in the second division, and recorded his debut in a 7–0 thrashing of CSM Metalul Reșița on 9 March 2016, aged 16.[1] In the 2018–19 campaign, he became an undisputed starter as his side achieved promotion to the top tier by winning the Liga II championship.

Aioani's first match in the former competition came on 15 July 2019, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–2 away draw with Gaz Metan Mediaș.[2] On 22 June 2021, he agreed to a four-year contract with fellow Liga I team Farul Constanța,[3][4] being part in a swap deal which took several players in the other direction.[5]

International career

Aioani was selected by manager Adrian Mutu in the Romania squad for the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship,[6] but did not make any appearance as his nation exited the tournament in the group stage. He was then called up to the postponed 2020 Summer Olympics,[7] this time starting in all three matches of another group-stage exit.
