Club career

Early career and Porto

Born in Ialoveni, Moldova, Reabciuk migrated at the age of four to Rio Maior in the Santarém District of Portugal. At 11, he was spotted by Sporting CP while playing for a local team, but left a year later due to tiredness from the long journeys to Lisbon, and to concentrate on his education.[2]

After becoming national champion with Rio Maior, Reabciuk was invited to train with C.F. Os Belenenses in June 2015,[3] having impressed in a match against them.[2] He then moved to FC Porto in a similar circumstance in July 2016,[4] where he signed his first professional contract of four years in 2017.[2]

On 26 November 2017, Reabciuk made his professional debut for FC Porto B in LigaPro, at home to Associação Académica de Coimbra. He played the first 67 minutes of the 2–1 defeat before being substituted for Musa Yahaya.[5] The following 4 February, he scored a late winner as the team came from behind to beat neighbouring Leixões S.C. 2–1 also at the Estádio Dr. Jorge Sampaio.[6] By 18 March, when he netted his fourth goal in ten appearances with one in a 3–0 home win over S.C. Covilhã, he was the team's top scorer for the season.[7]

Paços de Ferreira

On 13 July 2019, Reabciuk signed a four-year deal with F.C. Paços de Ferreira.[8] He made his Primeira Liga debut on 24 August in a 1–1 draw at Boavista F.C. as a 75th-minute substitute for Renat Dadashov.[9] On 18 October 2020, he scored his first top-flight goal to open a 2–1 home win over C.D. Santa Clara, his team's first of the season.[10]

Olympiacos

On 1 January 2021, Reabciuk completed a €2 million transfer to Superleague Greece outfit Olympiacos, signing a long-term deal until the summer of 2025.[11] He made his debut five days later in a 4–0 win at Asteras Tripolis F.C. as an 85th-minute substitute for José Holebas,[12] and ended the season as a league champion.[13]

On 16 September 2021, Reabciuk scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 UEFA Europa League home win over Royal Antwerp F.C. in the 87th minute.[14] His first league goal came the following 4 May to win 2–1 away to PAOK FC to lift the title.[15]

Spartak Moscow

On 7 August 2023, Spartak Moscow announced the transfer of Reabciuk on a three-year contract.[16]

International career

In November 2016, Reabciuk was called up for the Moldova under-19 national team.[17]

Reabciuk was called up by Moldova senior national team manager Alexandru Spiridon in March 2018, for a friendly against the Ivory Coast, while having just ten senior appearances for Porto B to his name.[7] On 27 March, he played 65 minutes in that match, a 2–1 defeat in Beauvais, France, before being replaced.[18] He was Moldovan Footballer of the Year for three consecutive years, 2020, 2021 and 2022.
