In 2003, he went to Switzerland to join AC Bellinzona, along with former UT Arad teammate Adrian Piţ, leaving four years later to join FC Aarau at Swiss Super League, where he is contracted until June 2009.
On 10 May 2009 FC Luzern announced that they had signed the Romanian forward from FC Aarau on a contract until 2012.

Ianu scored 21 goals in his first season with FC Luzern. He was voted the 'player of the season' by the club' supporters.{{Cite web |url=http://justcantbeatthat.com/2010/we-have-a-winner/ |title=Cristian Ianu 2010 FCL player of the year |access-date=23 June 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110713125307/http://justcantbeatthat.com/2010/we-have-a-winner/ |archive-date=13 July 2011 |url-status=dead}} Despite his strong performances and media calls for his debut in the national team, he has so far been ignored by Romania national team manager Răzvan Lucescu.{{cite web|url=http://www.ziare.com/fotbal/nationala/ianu-al-doilea-golgheter-din-elvetia-merita-convocat-la-nationala-1016147|title=Ianu, al doilea golgheter din Elvetia.

Ianu was also voted the player of the year in an online fans poll by JustCantBeatThat.com, FCL's fansite in English. Ianu was presented with the award at a pre-season friendly against FC St Gallen.{{Cite web |url=http://justcantbeatthat.com/2010/we-have-a-winner/ |title=We Have a winner |access-date=23 June 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110713125307/http://justcantbeatthat.com/2010/we-have-a-winner/ |archive-date=13 July 2011 |url-status=dead}}
Ianu suffered a serious leg injury in Luzern's 4–1 victory away at FC Basel which has ruled him out of much of the 2010-11 campaign.{{Cite web |url=http://justcantbeatthat.com/2010/fa-te-bine-cristian-basel-1-luzern-4/ |title=Fa-te bine Cristian (Basel 1 Luzern 4) |access-date=18 April 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100816175522/http://justcantbeatthat.com/2010/fa-te-bine-cristian-basel-1-luzern-4/ |archive-date=16 August 2010 |url-status=dead}}
