He is the captain of the Romania national football team and currently plays with Internazionale Milano F.C..His first professional club was CSM Reşiţa. After moving to Universitatea Craiova his reputation began to rise and his performances sparked interest from some larger clubs outside of Romania. Netherlands club Ajax Amsterdam was particularly impressed and recruited him in 1999. In the same year, he was chosen to represent the Romanian Under-20 team.
At Ajax he developed a reputation as a reliable fullback. Then-manager Ronald Koeman appointed him as captain of the club. With Chivu as captain, Ajax dominated the Dutch Eredivisie with an exciting young squad. Playing alongside Chivu were future stars such as Rafael van der Vaart, Andy van der Meyde and Zlatan Ibrahimović. Chivu played a pivotal role for Ajax in their UEFA Champions League run in the UEFA Champions League 2002-03, when they came to within a minute of the semi-finals.
Roma first expressed their interest in Chivu in 2003. At the time, Roma had an enormous debt and there were questions raised over Roma's ability to pay any proposed fee. Seeking to silence the increasing doubt over their financial situation, Roma sought a bank guarantee, which was subsequently denied. However, after much speculation Roma finally completed the purchase of Chivu, ending the long and protracted saga. The fee has been reported at €18m.
