A [[Defender (association football)\|defender]], he began his career with hometown club [[CSM Reșița]] before moving to [[FC U Craiova 1948\|FC Universitatea Craiova]] in 1998, leaving Romania to join Dutch club [[AFC Ajax\|Ajax]] a season later. His performances as the [[Captain (association football)\|captain]] of Ajax inspired an [[Euro\|€]]18 million transfer to [[~~A.S.~~AS Roma\|Roma]] in 2003. Chivu won the [[Coppa Italia]] in his last of four seasons in Rome before a transfer to [[Inter Milan]], where he spent the rest of his career before retiring in 2014. After recovering from a fractured skull, Chivu wore a distinctive protective headgear, similar to [[Petr Čech]]'s, from 2010 onwards.<ref>{{Cite web\|date=2017-03-12\|title=Football's biggest headache\|url=https://www.marca.com/en/football/international-football/2017/03/12/58c54bab268e3e64368b45a8.html\|access-date=2020-09-27\|website=MARCA in English\|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news\|last=Meadows\|first=Mark\|date=2010-03-23\|title=Inter's Chivu ready to return with special headgear\|language=en\|work=Reuters\|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/idINIndia-47159420100323\|access-date=2020-09-27}}</ref> His honours at Inter included a treble of the [[Serie A\|Italian league]], domestic cup, and the [[UEFA Champions League]] in 2010.

At the time, Roma had an enormous debt and there were questions raised over Roma's ability to pay any proposed fees. Seeking to silence the increasing doubt over their financial situation, Roma sought a bank guarantee, which was subsequently denied. After much speculation, however, Roma finally completed the purchase of Chivu in September, ending the long and protracted saga. The fee was [[Euro\|€]]18 million.<ref>{{cite news\|url=http://109.75.174.100/~asroma/downloads/corporate_investor/1287723401.pdf\|title=Accordo trasferimento calciatore Cristian CHIVU'\|date=8 July 2003\|access-date=14 September 2011\|work=AS Roma\|language=it \|archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/61gkUW7us?url=http://109.75.174.100/~asroma/downloads/corporate_investor/1287723401.pdf \|url-status=dead\|archive-date=14 September 2011}}</ref> Though he became a regular in defence, he made limited appearances due to injuries.
