Louis Munteanu

Louis Munteanu of D.C. United was born in Vaslui, Romania on 16 June 2002 (age 24). Today is Louis Munteanu's birthday.

Louis Munteanu, born 16 June 2002 (age 23), is a Romanian striker currently with D.C. United, where he wears number 11. His market value is around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

His strongest league season came at CFR Cluj in 2024-25, when he scored 23 goals in 35 appearances. That remains the clearest marker of his senior career so far: a proper scoring return rather than the usual loose promise attached to young forwards.

At D.C. United, he has made 14 appearances in all competitions and scored six goals, including five in 11 MLS matches. He was linked with a move to Celtic in July and December 2025 while with the American club.

Munteanu’s career is still taking shape, but the outline is plain enough: a Romanian centre-forward with a productive spell at CFR Cluj behind him and a developing record in MLS.

Munteanu did not make an MLS appearance for D.C. United in the completed league season, leaving no league evidence on his role. The usable production came outside the league – five goals in 11 listed MLS cup appearances and one goal in three UEFA U21 matches – pointing to a striker with end-product in secondary competitions rather than an established league place.

Munteanu’s path has taken him through five clubs: Viitorul Constanța, Fiorentina, Farul Constanța, CFR Cluj and D.C. United. The trajectory is not linear – an early Fiorentina move was followed by a loan return to Romania, then a productive CFR Cluj spell with 23 goals in 2024-25 before the D.C. United transfer.
