Maximilian Nicu applied for the Romanian citizenship three weeks ago and Monday morning the Romanian Justice Minister, Catalin Predoiu, signed the papers which conferred Nicu the Romanian citizenship.
The parents of Maximilian Nicu used to be Romanian citizens but in 1977 when they left Romania, they lost it.
Nicu performed in his career for SpVgg Unterhaching, Erfurt, Wehen Wiesbaden, Wacker Burghausen and he was bought last summer by Herta for 300.000 euro.
