Concordia Chiajna Albu made his professional debut for
Concordia Chiajna on 1 May 2015, coming on as an 89th-minute substitute for
Hristijan Dragarski in a 1–0 home
Liga I win over
Pandurii Târgu Jiu. He became a regular starter for the club in the
2016–17 season, and on 7 September 2016 scored his first goal in a 1–2
Cupa Ligii loss to
ACS Poli Timișoara. On 4 March 2017, Albu recorded his first league goal in a 1–1 draw against the same opponent. He amassed totals of 99 appearances and three goals in the top flight for "the Green Eagles", before relegating to the
Liga II at the end of the
2018–19 campaign.
Various loans In January 2020, Albu returned to the Liga I by signing for
newly-promoted Academica Clinceni on loan for the remainder of the
season. On 16 August, he moved to
UTA Arad on a one-year loan. On 16 June 2021, Albu was loaned again to
Rapid București, totalling 36 games and a career-best seven goals in all competitions during the
2021–22 season.
Rapid București In the summer of 2022, Albu joined Rapid București on a permanent basis after the team paid a previously-agreed €150,000 to Concordia Chiajna. On 23 April 2023, he scored the only goal of a home
derby victory over
FCSB in the Liga I. On 25 February 2024, he and his teammate
Andrei Borza were expelled from the squad for an undetermined period—later revealed as one match—because they partied in a
nightclub after a 1–3 loss to
Politehnica Iași. ==International career==
