Daniel "Dani" Aquino Pintos (born 27 July 1990) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Racing de Santander. Left-footed, he can play anywhere on the attacking line but usually appears as both a winger or forward.
Born in Murcia, Aquino made his professional debuts for local Real Murcia at only 16 years of age, during 2006–07 in the second division, against CD Tenerife: he scored in a 1–4 home loss for his only appearance of the season, which ended in promotion. In early 2007, rumours surfaced that Chelsea and Liverpool, amongst others, were after the youngster; eventually no deals were arranged, as the player chose to stay in the country to further his development.
Aquino first appeared in La Liga on 20 January 2008, in a 1–3 away defeat against Real Zaragoza. After coach Lucas Alcaraz's dismissal and the arrival of Javier Clemente, he finished the campaign in the starting XI, and showed glimpses of an emerging talent; on 30 March he provided a cross for Enrique de Lucas' opener at Deportivo de La Coruña (another 1–3 loss), and netted his first top flight goal two months later, away against Racing de Santander: Murcia led by 2–0, lost 2–3 and ractified its relegation.
In 2008–09, Aquino was given a major role in the main squad but Murcia underachieved, battling for relegation during most of the competition and finally ranking 14th. At the end of the following season, the club finally dropped down a level and he left in June 2011, having featured sparingly in the process.
