Alexandru Iulian Maxim (Romanian pronunciation: [alekˈsandru makˈsim]; born 8 July 1990) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Süper Lig club Gaziantep and the Romania national football team.

Maxim recorded his professional debut for the reserve team of Espanyol in 2009, and also had a loan spell at Badalona before returning to Romania with Pandurii Târgu Jiu in 2011. His display prompted a move to Germany at the start of 2013, where he amassed Bundesliga totals of 140 games and 14 goals representing VfB Stuttgart and Mainz 05. After seven years in the latter country, Maxim joined Turkish side Gaziantep in 2020, initially on loan.

At international level, Maxim made his debut for the Romania senior team in a 1–0 friendly win over Switzerland in May 2012, and has since been capped over 50 times.

Club career

Early career and Espanyol

Maxim started his football career with local side Olimpia Piatra Neamț when he was seven years old before joining Ardealul Cluj in 2004, sharing teams at some point with Mihai Răduț and Vlad Chiricheș.[3][4][5]

Aged 17, Maxim moved to Spain with Espanyol.[6] About his accommodation in the country, he said that "it was not very easy".[7] After progressing through the club's academy, he then played for the reserves in the Segunda División B.[6] During the 2010–11 campaign, Maxim was loaned to Badalona.[8]

Pandurii Târgu Jiu

On 9 August 2011, Maxim returned to Romania to sign a one-year contract with the option of another two years for Pandurii Târgu Jiu.[9]

Maxim made his debut in the Liga I on 12 September 2011, coming on as a late substitute in a 5–1 win over Mioveni,[10] and scored his first goal for the club on 18 December in a 1–1 draw with Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț.[11] He netted his second on 31 March 2012, in a 1–1 draw against Steaua București.[12] Maxim later scored two more goals against Oțelul Galați and Concordia Chiajna respectively.[13][14] Despite being absent on some occasions,[15][16] Maxim finished his first season at the club with four goals in 28 appearances all competitions comprised.

The following campaign, Maxim aided Pandurii to a perfect start after scoring one each against Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț and Oțelul Galați,[17][18] with the team having managed six wins in the first seven matches. By the time the first half of the season came to an end, he had played 20 games and scored three more goals.[19][20][21]

Maxim's good display attracted interest from several foreign clubs,[22][23] including Standard Liège,[24] and Steaua București was close to reaching an agreement for his transfer.[25][26] In response to the initial rumours, head coach Petre Grigoraș stated that he expects the player to stay at Pandurii until the summer of the next year.[27][28]

In the 2014–15 season, Maxim started the season well when he scored the club's first goal of the season, in a 1–1 draw against Borussia Mönchengladbach.[42] However, Maxim suffered an injury that kept him out for a week[43] and after making his return, where he came on as a substitute in the second half, in a 3–3 draw against Bayer Leverkusen,[44] Maxim played the role in the next game, where he set up two goals, in a 5–4 win over Eintracht Frankfurt on 25 October 2014[45] and then in the second time meeting on 21 March 2015, he scored and set up one of the goals, in a 3–1 win.[citation needed] Despite suffering from another injury,[46] Maxim made twenty–six appearances and scored two times, as well as, assisting six times in the 2014–15 season.

Ahead of the 2015–16 season, it was announced on 11 August 2015 that Maxim extended his contract with VfB Stuttgart until June 2019.[47] The following month on 23 September 2015, Maxim scored his first goal of the season, in a 3–1 win over Hannover 96[48] and then scored his second goal of the season on 28 October 2015, in the second round of DFB-Pokal, in a 2–0 win over Carl Zeiss Jena.[49] After suffering from an illness that kept him out for a week,[50] Maxim set up two goals on 2 May 2016, in a 6–2 loss against Werder Bremen.[51] While the club was relegated to the 2. Bundesliga, Maxim scored once in 25 league appearances and assisting six times in the 2015–16 season.

Following the club's relegation to 2. Bundesliga, Maxim was given a number 10 shirt from the previous 44 shirt[52] and started the 2016–17 season well when he scored in the opening game of the season, with a 2–1 win over St. Pauli.[citation needed] On 30 October 2016, he scored again, in a 3–1 win over Karlsruher SC.[53] After suffering from an injury for one game,[54] Maxim then made his return from injury on 12 December 2016, where he came on as a substitute in the second half, in a 2–2 draw against Hannover 96.[55] He finished strongly appearing as a regular starter and contributing three goals and one assist in the last matches of the season which helped secure Stuttgart's promotion to the Bundesliga.[56]

It was not until 11 October 2015 when he scored his first goal in three years, in a 3–0 win over Faroe Islands.[68] The following year, Maxim was included for the Romania squad for the UEFA Euro 2016.[69] However, he was omitted from the squad after the final cut.[70] In response to this, Maxim expressed his bitterness but nevertheless wished the team success in the tournament.[71]

On 1 September 2017, Maxim netted the winner against Armenia at his first game under manager Christoph Daum.[72]

Personal life

In addition to his native Romanian, Maxim can speak English, Spanish and German.[6] He regarded Zinedine Zidane and compatriot Gheorghe Hagi as his role models growing up.[6]
