Danilo Barbosa da Silva (born 28 February 1996), simply known as Danilo, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Portuguese club Benfica as a defensive midfielder.

Club career

Vasco da Gama

Born in Simões Filho, Bahia, Danilo joined CR Vasco da Gama's youth setup in 2011, after starting it out at EC Vitória.[1] On 26 September 2013, before even making his debut as a senior, he was sold to Gestifute for a €4.5 million fee and was assigned to S.C. Braga, with the move only being effective in July 2014.[2][3]

Danilo was promoted to the cruzmaltino's main squad in January 2014, and made his senior debut on 2 February, coming on as a late substitute for Edmílson in a 1–0 home win against Botafogo FR for the Campeonato Carioca championship.[4] On 19 April he made his Série B debut, starting in a 1–1 home draw against América Mineiro.[5]

Braga

On 3 July 2014 Danilo definitely joined Braga.[6] He made his debut for the club on 20 September, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 Primeira Liga away draw against C.D. Nacional.[7] On 26 October, he was sent off in a 2–1 win over S.L. Benfica at the Estádio Municipal de Braga.[8]

Danilo scored his first professional goal on 3 January 2015, netting the first in a 1–2 away loss against C.S. Marítimo;[9] he added another on the 18th, in a 3–1 success at Vitória de Setúbal.[10] An undisputed starter when available, his performances attracted the interest of other clubs.[11][12]

On 15 July 2015 Danilo signed for La Liga side Valencia CF on loan, with an option to buy at the end of the season.[13] He made his debut on 22 August in the first game of the campaign, playing the entirety of a goalless draw at Rayo Vallecano.

On 28 July 2016, he joined defending champions Benfica on a season-long loan deal.[14] Danilo missed the Supertaça match since Benfica could not register the player at FPF for him to be available in time.[15]

International career

Danilo represented Brazil in multiple youth levels. After representing the under-15s in 2011 South American Under-15 Football Championship and the under-17s in 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup, he was called up to the under-20s ahead of 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[16]

Danilo started in all matches of the latter tournament, acting as captain. He scored his team's first through a header in a 2–1 win against Hungary,[17] and was also awarded the competition's Silver Ball,[18] with his side finishing second.
