Dani Silva

Dani Silva of FC Midtjylland was born on 11 April 2000 (age 26).

Dani Silva, born on 11 April 2000 (age 26), is a Portuguese central defensive midfielder with FC Midtjylland. His current market value is around £2m, according to Transfermarkt.

His most substantial league season came with Vitória SC in 2022-23, when he made 30 appearances and scored once. For a defensive midfielder, that is a fairly plain but useful marker: regular football, limited fuss, and little need to pretend the goal column tells the story.

Silva is now at Midtjylland, where he has made one Europa League appearance in 2026-27. At this stage, his senior profile is built mainly around that Vitória spell, with his Danish chapter still at an early point.
