Adrian Constantin Alexandru Păun [note 1] (Romanian pronunciation: [adriˈan konstanˈtin alekˈsandru ˈpə.un]; born 1 April 1995) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a winger or attacking midfielder for Liga I club CFR Cluj. [4]
Păun spent most of his professional career at CFR Cluj, for which he made his debut in 2014 and appeared in over 230 Liga I games. In 2022, he moved abroad for the first time by signing for Hapoel Be'er Sheva on an initial loan. In 2024, he resigned for CFR Cluj.
Păun recorded his Liga I debut for CFR Cluj on 14 March 2014, in a 2–2 away draw with Corona Brașov. He scored his first goal for the team on 28 April 2015, in a 2–1 home victory over Concordia Chiajna. [5]
On 28 September 2022, Păun joined Israeli club Hapoel Be'er Sheva on a season-long loan with an option to buy. [6] On 15 November that year, it was announced that he signed for Be'er Sheva on a permanent deal until 2026. [7]
On 20 September 2023, Hapoel Be'er Sheva sent Păun on a season-long loan to fellow Israeli Premier League side Bnei Sakhnin, with the player's salary being split between the two clubs. [8]
Păun was called up to the Romania national team for the first time by coach Cosmin Contra on 30 August 2019, for the UEFA Euro 2020 qualification matches against Spain and Malta. [9] He finally registered his debut on 6 June 2021 by starting in a 0–1 friendly loss to England. [10]
