A youth player of FC Politehnica Timișoara until its dissolution in 2012, he started his senior career in the representation of the two entities which asserted the history of the defunct team, ACS Poli Timișoara and ASU Politehnica Timișoara. In the summer of 2018, aged 20, Sorescu left the latter to sign for Dinamo București, with which has since appeared in over 110 matches in the Romanian first division.

At international level, he was given his debut for the Romania senior team in June 2021, in a 2–1 friendly loss to Georgia.

Club career

Early career / ACS Poli Timișoara

Born in Moldova Nouă, Caraș-Severin County, Sorescu played football for local club Dunărea Moldova Nouă before joining the youth setup of FC Politehnica Timișoara, aged ten. After the dissolution of FC Politehnica, he moved to newly-founded ACS Poli Timișoara in 2012. At age 16, Sorescu was loaned out to Romanian third division team Millenium Giarmata, after which he became part of the extended roster for the ACS Poli senior team.[1]

On 30 May 2015, Sorescu made his debut for the Alb-violeții in a Liga II 1–1 draw with Olimpia Satu Mare. Towards the end of the following season, he played his maiden minutes in the first league in games against Petrolul Ploiești and CSM Studențesc Iași; both ended in 2–3 defeats.[2]

ASU Politehnica Timișoara

At the start of 2017, Sorescu moved to ASU Politehnica Timișoara, the other team in the city established after the dissolution of the original FC Politehnica. He made his breakthrough in the 2017–18 Liga II campaign, amassing 14 goals and 35 matches in all competitions.

Dinamo București

Dinamo București announced the signing of Sorescu on a four-year contract, on 27 April 2018.[3] He registered his debut for "the Red Dogs" on 22 July that year, and also scored the winner in the 2–1 home league victory over FC Voluntari.[4] With eleven goals in all competitions, Sorescu was Dinamo București's top scorer in the 2019–20 season.

He repeated the performance the next year, this time after netting only eight goals, and was chosen by Liga Profesionistă de Fotbal in the 2020–21 Liga I Team of the Season.[5] On 19 July 2021, Sorescu scored a hat-trick against FC Voluntari in the campaign's opener, with the game ending in a 3–2 win for Dinamo.

International career

Sorescu made his debut for the Romania national team on 2 June 2021, in a friendly against Georgia at the Ilie Oană Stadium in Ploiești.[6] He started as a right-back and provided an assist to Andrei Ivan in the 1–2 loss.[7]
