Dani Silva, born in Portugal on 11 April 2000 (age 26), is a central defensive midfielder with FC Midtjylland. His profile is a fairly plain one: a holding player rather than a headline act, with a market value of around £2m according to Transfermarkt.
His clearest run of league football came at Vitoria SC in 2022–23, when he made 30 appearances and scored once. That season remains the strongest marker of his senior career so far, giving him a proper body of first-team football rather than the usual handful of tidy references.
By 2026–27 he was with FC Midtjylland, making one Europa League appearance for the Danish club. At this stage, Silva’s career reads as that of an established professional still trying to turn steady midfield work into a more settled role.
