Early career / UTA Arad
Miculescu joined the youth ranks of UTA Arad in the spring of 2016, after having previously played for Electrica Timișoara, the Gheorghe Hagi Academy and the Atlético Madrid academy in Bucharest, respectively. He made his senior debut for UTA on 23 September 2017, aged 16, coming on as a 78th-minute substitute for Amir Jorza in a 0–1 Liga II loss at Olimpia Satu Mare.[1]
On 9 March 2019, Miculescu scored his first goal for the club by equalising in an eventual 2–1 home victory over ACS Poli Timișoara.[2] In the 2019–20 season, he amassed three goals from 25 appearances as UTA became Liga II champion and achieved promotion to the top tier.[3]
Miculescu recorded his first match in the Liga I on 28 September 2020, in a 1–0 away defeat of Dinamo București,[4] and netted for the first time on 20 April 2021 in another 1–0 win against the same opponent.[5] On 2 October 2021, he scored his first career double in a 2–2 league draw also against Dinamo București.[6]
On 22 April 2022, Miculescu signed a contract extension that would have kept him at the club until 2024.[7] On 25 July, he scored his first goals of the campaign in a 2–0 home win over newly-promoted Petrolul Ploiești.[8]
FCSB
On 1 August 2022, Miculescu was officially unveiled at FCSB after the club activated his €1.7 million release clause. He signed a five-year contract and was assigned the number 11 shirt.[9][10] Two days later, he registered his debut by starting in a 1–0 away win over DAC Dunajská Streda in the UEFA Europa Conference League third qualifying round.[11]
On his Liga I debut against Mioveni on 6 August 2022, Miculescu scored a header to seal a 1–1 draw.[12] He failed to make an impact during his first season in Bucharest, totalling 36 league appearances—of which he only started 11—and scoring three goals.
