Florin Lucian Tănase (Romanian pronunciation: [floˈrin lutʃiˈan təˈnase]; born 30 December 1994) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a forward or an attacking midfielder for Liga I club FCSB and for the Romania national team.
Tănase started out as a senior in 2013, while on loan from Viitorul Constanța at third league club Voluntari. He went on to appear in over 70 Liga I games with the former, before transferring to FCSB in 2016 for €1.5 million. In the 2020–21 and 2021–22 seasons, Tănase finished as the league's top goalscorer.
Internationally, Tănase made his full debut for Romania in a 1–0 friendly victory over Albania in May 2014, aged 19.

On 8 August 2016, FCSB—signed Tănase on a five-year deal for a reported €1.5 million transfer fee, with Viitorul Constanța retaining 25% interest on a future move.[3][4] He was assigned the number 10 jersey and scored on debut four days later, in a 2–0 away victory over Botoșani.[5]
Tănase scored his first European goal for the Roș-albaștrii on 2 August 2017, in a 4–1 away victory over Viktoria Plzeň in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round.[6]
In the 2020–21 season, Tănase netted 24 times to become the league's top scorer, and was thus named in the Liga I Team of the Year.[7]
On 25 April 2022, Tănase scored his first professional hat-trick in a 4–0 away victory over his former team Viitorul Constanța, now named Farul. He went on to finish as Liga I top scorer for the second campaign in a row, after netting 20 times.
Al Jazira
[edit]On 6 August 2022, Emirati club Al Jazira announced the signing of Tănase after meeting his €3 million release clause.[8]
Al-Okhdood
[edit]On 5 August 2023, Tănase joined Saudi Pro League club Al-Okhdood on a free transfer.[9]
International career
[edit]On 31 May 2014, Tănase earned his first cap for Romania national team in a 1–0 friendly win over Albania, coming on as an 83rd-minute substitute for Alexandru Maxim.[10] He appeared sparingly for the country in the following years, and only scored his first goal on 25 March 2021, in a 3–2 defeat of North Macedonia in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.[11]
Style of play
[edit]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.[12] Romanian manager and former player Gheorghe Hagi regarded him as one of the most promising talents of his generation;[13] in spite of this, Tănase has been accused by opponents and media alike of excessive diving, especially during his time at FCSB.[14][15][16]
