On 26 May 2008, Tătărușanu signed a five-year contract with Steaua București, with a reported transfer fee of around €1,5m. The move from Gloria Bistrița was completed after 2008–09 Liga I as Steaua already had a starting goalkeaper in Robinson Zapata.

In June 2011, Napoli offered €3 million for the player, but the offer was rejected.
