"Andrei Rațiu is reaching the level he showed last season and is phenomenal. He is incredible at breaking the opponent's pressure lines to attack and become an extra attacker.
He changes his position inside and becomes a headache," wrote journalist Jonay Amaro on X.

He is valued at 18 million euros by Transfermarkt.
