Returns to Atletico Madrid Moldovan has returned to Atletico Madrid after his loan spell with Real Oviedo came to an end.

Impact Moldovan's loan at Real Oviedo comes to an end this summer and he heads back to Atletico de Madrid, though everything points to his future lying elsewhere. The 28-year-old Romania international struggled for involvement at Carlos Tartiere due to goalkeeping competition, managing only two La Liga starts across 180 minutes, conceding four goals and making four saves. With Jan Oblak ahead of him at Atletico, a new loan or permanent exit looks the most likely outcome as he seeks the regular football he was unable to find in Asturias.

Closes out season with defeat Moldovan had four saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-0 loss versus Mallorca.

Impact Moldovan had some big saves throughout the game, but there wasn't much he could've done on the three goals he conceded. He started the final two games of the season when Oviedo were already relegated, making four saves and three clearances while allowing four goals. He spent most of the season as the No. 2 goalkeeper behind Aaron. Moldovan will return to his parent club, Atletico Madrid, for the 2026/27 season.

Sent on loan again Moldovan has been loaned to Oviedo from Atletico Madrid, according to his parent club.

Impact Moldovan is seeing a change of scenery this season once again, with the goalie loaned to Oviedo after he was loaned to Sassuolo last campaign. He hasn't seen a start with Madrid but did hold a decent role with Sassuolo and will hope to replicate that this season. He will look to top Aaron for his spot in net with Oviedo, possibly capturing a starting role with the club, but at least holding a backup role.

Heading back to Atletico Madrid Moldovan won't be retained past his loan spell, Sassuolo announced.

Impact Moldovan was more than serviceable and contributed to the promotion, allowing 27 goals and keeping 11 clean sheets in 27 matches, but Sassuolo will likely lean on Stefano Turati, who played on loan at Monza in the past campaign, between the sticks. He might stay as a deputy since Atletico Madrid leaned on a loanee, Juan Musso, behind Jan Oblak in 2024/2025 and are unlikely to buy him out.

Set to start in net Moldovan appeared and started in all eight of Romania's Euro 2024 qualifying matches, registering four goals allowed and five clean sheets.

Impact Moldovan is set to lead Romania into Euro 2024, as he is their defined starter in net after getting the start in every qualifying match. With Romania being in one of the weaker groups, he could see a decent tournament and propel Romania to the round of 16. However, the club will have to see stellar performances from the keeper to get past Belgium and Ukraine, hoping he can be a clean-sheet factory after earning five in qualifying.
