Club career

Early years

At the age of ten, after only playing ball on the beaches of native Mangalia, Alibec chose to focus entirely on football and joined Callatis Mangalia's youth setup.[3] He had a brief spell with Steaua București's juniors before making his senior debut on 27 September 2008 with Farul Constanța, where he managed to score two goals in 18 Liga I matches.[1]

Internazionale

In July 2009, it was announced that Alibec signed a four-year contract with Italian club Inter Milan.[6]

On 19 May 2010, Alibec scored a goal in each half to give Inter victory over Bayern Munich in the UEFA Under-18 Challenge match, part of UEFA Grassroots Day.[7] Alibec made his Serie A debut on 21 November 2010, coming on as an 68th-minute substitute for Jonathan Biabiany in a 1–2 defeat to Chievo Verona. He was in rich form in the Campionato Primavera Girone B after scoring eight goals in nine games.

On 24 August 2011, Alibec was loaned to Belgian Pro League side Mechelen on a one-year deal.[8]

He established himself as one of the division's best players,[3] ending the 2015–16 campaign with 33 matches and 20 goals all competitions comprised as Astra Giurgiu claimed its first-ever championship title.[9]

On 18 August 2016, Alibec netted the equalizer in a 1–1 draw with West Ham United in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League play-off round.[10] He went on to make five appearances and score two goals in the group stage of that competition.

His notable display throughout 2016 won him a Romanian Footballer of the Year award.[11]

Return to Steaua București
