Daniel Paraschiv

Daniel George Paraschiv (born 24 April 1999) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Segunda División club Cultural Leonesa, on loan from La Liga club Oviedo. Paraschiv emerged from his hometown club FC Brașov's youth system, where he played until it folded in 2017. That year, he made his senior debut with Viitorul Ghimbav in the third division. He also had a stint at AFC Hărman before joining Liga II side Luceafărul Oradea for the 2018–19 season, amassing 33 appearances and scoring 14 goals in the league.

In the summer of 2019, Paraschiv moved to fellow Liga II team Viitorul Târgu Jiu, though he only featured in two matches during his initial season in Oltenia. He regained his form in the 2020–21 season, scoring 13 goals from 29 matches across all competitions.

Liga I club CFR Cluj announced the signing of Paraschiv on 11 June 2021, but the following month he was loaned out to Voluntari, also in the top flight. He recorded his Liga I debut on 19 July, in a 2–3 away loss to Dinamo București.

Paraschiv netted his only Voluntari goal on 21 September 2021, in a 4–1 defeat of Șomuz Fălticeni in the Cupa României. On 10 January 2022, he returned to the second division on loan at Hermannstadt, where he scored six goals in 13 appearances and helped the team secure promotion to Liga I.

In June 2022, Paraschiv signed a three-year contract to join Hermannstadt on a permanent basis. He scored his first Liga I goal on 15 July, in a 3–0 success over Mioveni. By the end of the year, Paraschiv netted eight more times, including goals against title contenders FCSB, Universitatea Craiova, and CFR Cluj, respectively.
