Early career and Viitorul Constanța

Born in Bucharest, Marin started playing football at the age of six with local Pro Luceafărul, and joined the academy of Viitorul Constanța seven years later. He made his professional debut for the latter club on 18 October 2013, in a 0–4 Liga I away loss to Steaua București. Marin scored his first league goal in a 2–1 away victory over CFR Cluj, on 15 March 2015. In December 2016, aged only 20, daily newspaper Gazeta Sporturilor announced that he came third for the 2016 Romanian Footballer of the Year award. During his spell in Constanța, Marin amassed competitive totals of 85 games and ten goals.

Standard Liège

On 20 January 2017, Marin signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with Belgian side Standard Liège. Romanian press had initially reported the transfer value at €2.4 million, with Viitorul retaining undisclosed interest on the capital gain of a potential future transfer. He made his first Belgian First Division A appearance two days later, coming on as an 80th-minute substitute in a 0–3 loss to Club Brugge at the Stade Maurice Dufrasne. On 8 April 2017, Marin scored his first goal for Les Rouches in a 2–2 league draw with Sint-Truiden. On 20 September, he netted once and also provided an assist in a 4–0 victory over Heist for the Belgian Cup; in December, he scored in league fixtures against Waasland-Beveren, Sint-Truiden and Kortrijk respectively. On 3 February 2018, Marin scored the final goal of a 3–0 success…

In September 2016, 20-year-old Marin was selected in Romania's senior squad for a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Montenegro. On 8 October, for the same competition, he earned his first cap and scored a goal in a 5–0 away victory over Armenia. On 7 June 2024, Marin was named in Romania's squad for the UEFA Euro 2024. Ten days later, he scored a goal in a 3–0 win over Ukraine in the opening group match, contributing to his country's first victory in the competition in 24 years. On 26 June, Marin converted a penalty in a 1–1 draw with Slovakia, securing Romania first place in its group. He started in all four matches, with Romania eventually losing 0–3 to the Netherlands in the round of 16.

Marin is usually deployed as either a central or a defensive midfielder, although he is also capable of playing in a more advanced position as an attacking midfielder.

Marin's father, Petre, was also a Romanian international. A full-back, he played for Steaua București and Național București among others.
