Raphael Andrei Stănescu (born 27 June 1993) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Liga III club Minaur Baia Mare.^[2]

Career

Stănescu made his Dinamo first-team debut on 22 May 2010, coming off the bench in a match against SC Vaslui as a substitute for Andrei Cristea.^[3] His first goal for Dinamo came in a game against CS Mioveni, on 12 May 2012. In 2014, he ended his contract with Dinamo, because he didn't have too many chances to play for the Reds-and-Whites.^[4]

In February 2022, he was suspended and fined by the Romanian Football Federation for his involvement in match fixing during his stint at Daco-Getica București – more specifically a game against UTA Arad on 28 September 2019. Stănescu filed a protest against the decision to suspend him.^[5]
