Ianis Hagi (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈhad͡ʒi]; born 22 October 1998) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays mainly as an attacking midfielder for Belgian club Genk and the Romania national team.

Club career

Viitorul

Hagi was born in Istanbul where his father Gheorghe was playing for Galatasaray.[1][2][3] He joined the Gheorghe Hagi football academy at the age of 10, and made his Liga I debut on 5 December 2014 with Viitorul Constanța at the age of only 16, when he came on as a last-minute substitute for Silviu Pană in a 1–2 home defeat to FC Botoșani, his maiden appearance being handed by his father.[4]

On 29 May 2015, Hagi scored his first goal as a senior, contributing to a 4–4 draw against the same opponent whilst also acting as a starter for the first time.[5] In June, he gained team captaincy.

Hagi scored his second league goal against ACS Poli Timișoara, in a 4–0 home win on 21 August 2015,[6] a few days after having missed a penalty against Concordia Chiajna.[7] In October, he was named by The Guardian as one of the 50 best young footballers in the world born in 1998.[8]

Fiorentina

On 10 July 2016, Hagi joined Fiorentina for a €2 million transfer fee.[9][10] He made his league debut on 23 October, replacing Josip Iličić late into a 5–3 away triumph over Cagliari.[11]

In April 2017, Hagi was nominated for the European Golden Boy award.[12]

Return to Viitorul

Hagi returned to Viitorul Constanța on 18 January 2018 for a reported €2 million, with Fiorentina being entitled to 30% of a future transfer fee.[13][14] In July, he was again nominated for the European Golden Boy award.[15]

Genk

On 11 July 2019, Belgian First Division champions Genk acquired a reported 85% of Hagi's economic rights for €10 million becoming the most expensive Liga I sale and surpassing the fee Anderlecht paid for Nicolae Stanciu in 2016. Viitorul Constanța will also receive €1 million for each championship title that Genk will win in three years.[16][17]

International career

Hagi with Romania in March 2019.

Hagi represented Romania at under-15, under-16, under-17, under-18, under-19 and under-21 levels. On 11 September 2018, he scored a direct corner kick in a 2–0 win over the Bosnia and Herzegovina under-21 team.[18]

He was part of team that qualified for the second time in their history for the UEFA European Under-21 Championship, starting in all three group matches of the 2019 final tournament in Italy. He netted one each against Croatia and England to help his side progress to the semi-finals as group winners, where they lost 2–4 to defending champions Germany.[19]

On 17 November 2018, Hagi made his senior debut for Romania in a 3–0 UEFA Nations League win over Lithuania, coming on as a 68th-minute substitute for Claudiu Keșerü.

Style of play

Ianis and his father Gheorghe in December 2015.

Considered to be a promising young footballing talent, Hagi's playing style has drawn comparisons with that of his father's due to his dribbling skills, passing, two-footedness and playmaking ability. Although his preferred role is as an attacking midfielder, he is a quick, agile and versatile midfielder who is also capable of playing in several advanced roles, and has also been used as a winger, a second striker or even a central midfielder on occasion. Due to his vision, technique and eye for goal, he is both capable of creating chances for his teammates and scoring goals himself.[20][21][22][23][24]

Personal life

Hagi’s father is former football player Gheorghe Hagi. He is sponsored by Nike apparel.[25]
