Dani Silva, born on the 11th of April 2000, hails from Portugal and currently exhibits his midfield craftsmanship at FC Midtjylland. A naturally defensive midfielder by trade, Silva embodies the number 80 jersey splendidly. Standing at a solid 5ft 10 inches (1.8m) tall and tipping the scales at 11st 11lb (75kg), Silva proves to be an imposing figure in the heart of the pitch.
His sterling exploits on the pitch, predominantly operating in a central defensive role, has garnered a current market value of approximately £2m, as cited by Transfermarkt.
Silva embarked on his professional football journey in earnest in January 2014, joining Portuguese side Vitoria SC as a promising trainee. His debut season in the 2021 - 2022 campaign saw him make one appearance with the senior squad, a moderate introduction to the rigours of league football. The following season witnessed a significant elevation in his contributions, notching up 30 appearances and even breaching the opposition's net on one occasion. In the 2023 - 2024 season, he featured in 16 matches and again found the back of the net once.
His sterling performances in Portugal spurred interest abroad, culminating in a switch to Serie A side Hellas Verona in January 2024 for a fee in the region of £1.8m. Over the course of two seasons, Silva made 25 appearances for the Italian outfit, steadily acclimatising his talents to the demands of Italian football.
A step ahead in Silva's football journey occurred in February 2025, when the midfielder's services were secured by Danish Superliga side FC Midtjylland for a fee of around £3m. He quickly established a foothold in the team, contributing 1 goal in 13 appearances in his debut half-season. Now accustomed to his new abode, he finds himself featuring regularly and has accumulated seven appearances in the ongoing 2025 - 2026 season.
