Club career

Born in Leganés, Community of Madrid, Barbu represented Atlético Madrid, Getafe CF and AD Alcorcón as a youth.[1] He made his senior debut with the latter's reserves on 1 September 2019, starting in a 2–2 Tercera División home draw against DAV Santa Ana.

On 11 July 2021, after establishing himself as a regular starter for Alcorcón B, Barbu was loaned to Primera División RFEF side Real Unión for the season.[2] He was a first-choice during the most of the campaign, as his side narrowly missed out a play-off spot.

On 29 July 2022, Barbu signed a three-year contract with CD Mirandés in Segunda División.[3] He made his professional debut on 22 October, starting in a 1–1 home draw against SD Huesca.[4]

Barbu scored his first professional goal on 21 November 2022, netting his team's second in a 2–1 home win over FC Cartagena.
