Italian striker Andrea Compagno is reportedly negotiating with a top Romanian Superliga club, according to ProSport. The forward is currently finishing his contract in China and will be free to sign for a new club starting January 1, 2027.

Compagno has a significant history in Romania, having previously played for FCU Craiova. During his time there, he scored 26 goals in 61 matches across Liga 2, SuperLiga, and Cupa României.

His career path in Romania also included a stint at FCSB. He was transferred to the Bucharest-based club in 2022 for 1.5 million euros and scored 16 goals for the team before moving on.

After leaving FCSB, Compagno was sold to Tianjin for 120,000 euros. He recorded 19 goals in 29 matches during his tenure with the Chinese side.

The striker also spent time in South Korea, where he scored 18 goals in 33 matches for Jeonbuk.

Compagno's recent playing time has been interrupted by injury issues. About a year ago, he suffered a serious knee injury involving a cruciate ligament rupture, which kept him away from play for months.

He re-injured himself shortly after recovering from the initial surgery, remaining out until last month. He has since returned to action, playing in three matches.
