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]

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]
