On 21 June 2019, after only four first-team matches, Relu signed for Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund, being initially assigned to the reserves. On 14 July 2020, after having his appearances limited due to a knee injury, he returned to his home country and joined Getafe CF's B-team in the Segunda División B.
