Club career[edit]
Born in Bucharest, Savu was a Sportul Studențesc youth graduate. In the 2006 summer he joined Dacia Chișinău, being immediately loaned to FC Săcele.
On 28 October 2006 Savu played his first professional match, starting in a 0–1 home loss against CF Brăila for the Liga II championship. He subsequently returned to Dacia in 2007.
Savu moved to Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț in January 2008. He appeared regularly during his first two campaigns, but lost his starting spot in his third, and was loaned to Concordia Chiajna in January 2010, until June.[1]
Savu subsequently returned to Ceahlăul in June, but after making no appearances he moved FC Victoria Brănești in January 2011. On 26 January of the following year he signed for Olt Slatina.[2]
On 21 August 2012 Savu moved abroad for the first time in his career, signing a two-year deal with Spanish Segunda División B side Atlético Sanluqueño CF.[3] On 30 January 2013 he joined fellow league team FC Cartagena.[4]
A backup to new signings Víctor Ibáñez and Jesús Limones, Savu appeared mainly in Copa del Rey matches, notably in a 0–3 loss against FC Barcelona.[5] On 2 August 2014 he moved to Arroyo CP, also in the third level.[6]
