Alexandru Cicaldau (born 8 July 1997) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Super Lig club Konyaspor, on loan from Super Lig club Galatasaray, and the Romania national team.

Cicaldau started his career as a senior at Viitorul Constan\u021ba, and in the summer of 2018 transferred to Universitatea Craiova. He totalled over 100 games in the league championship and won two domestic trophies with the latter, before moving abroad to Galatasaray in 2021.

Internationally, Cicaldau registered his full debut for Romania in a 2–1 friendly defeat of Israel in March 2018. The following year, he started in all games for the under-21 side as they reached the semi-finals of the UEFA European Championship.

Cicaldau received his first call up for the Romania senior team in March 2018. On the 24th that month, he made his debut as an 83rd-minute substitute in a friendly with Israel, which his team won 2–1. His first official game for the country came on 17 November, in a 3–0 UEFA Nations League defeat of Lithuania.

The following year he represented the under-21 side at the 2019 UEFA European Championship, where they managed to progress past a group with Croatia, England and France, before being eliminated by defending champions Germany in the semi-finals. He earned four caps during the final tournament, all as a starter.

After the conclusion of the Under-21 Championship, Cicaldau continued to be selected for the senior team. On 31 March 2021, on his twelfth cap, he scored his first goals in a 2–3 away loss to Armenia counting for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. In 2023, Cicaldau appeared in seven games of the Euro 2024 qualifiers, including a start in the final 1–0 victory over Switzerland which secured Romania the first place in Group I.

Cicaldau is capable of aiding his teammates in both defense and attack, being described as a box-to-box midfielder by former Romanian international Gheorghe Craioveanu. He has been praised for his technique and work ethic.<\/P>","80071F80C4550E7F":"178cm","F849A024F3C8AF1B2C4A709B4C92BB0F":"2024-6-30","165A9E64AAEECF036C1B6B6A72794204F7BF560594F29F16":"1","D91AFD3F8E13D94664CE2C04A1143112":"Konyaspor[on loan],Galatasaray,Ittihad Kalba[on loan],CS Universitatea Craiova,FC Viitorul Constanta,FC Viitorul Constanta(U19)","AA81248D0821D00F0BA9BCB533E2881F":"Konyaspor[on loan]","56D1193A280251FE":"Alexandru Cicaldau","F14A25307A7B90F34DF7D46459F247E0":"1997-7-8","e_index":3};
