Mihnea Gabriel Rădulescu (born 17 September 2005) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Liga I club Petrolul Ploiești.

Club career

A youth product of his hometown club Petrolul Ploiești, Rădulescu registered his senior debut on 15 May 2022, coming on as a 74th-minute substitute for Saim Tudor in a goalless Liga II away draw at Unirea Slobozia. He made his debut as a professional on 10 April 2023, replacing Jair in the 90th minute of a 2–0 home Liga I win over Mioveni.

On 23 January 2024, Rădulescu was loaned out to Liga II side Gloria Buzău for the remainder of the season. He scored his first career goal on 25 February, in a 5–1 away thrashing of Progresul Spartac, and added three more goals from a total of eleven appearances during his spell.

Upon his return to Ploiești, Petrolul manager Mehmet Topal handed Rădulescu his first league start on 16 August 2024, in a 2–1 away victory over Unirea Slobozia in which he opened the scoring. On 27 September, he netted his first double in a 4–1 home defeat of Hermannstadt.

International career

On 5 October 2024, Rădulescu received his first call-up to the Romania national under-21 team for the UEFA Euro qualifiers against Montenegro and Switzerland. Six days later, he made his debut as a substitute and scored the last goal in the 6–2 away thrashing of the former opponent. On 15 October, he again came on as a substitute in the 3–1 home over Switzerland, as Romania won its group and qualified for its fourth consecutive European Under-21 Championship.

Personal life

Rădulescu has an elder brother who is a tourist guide, and their father also played football in the lower leagues of Prahova County.
