Danilo Barbosa da Silva (born 28 February 1996), simply known as Danilo, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Belgian club Standard Liège on a loan from Braga.
Born in Simões Filho, Bahia, Danilo joined CR Vasco da Gama's youth setup in 2011, after starting it out at EC Vitória. 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.
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. On 19 April he made his Série B debut, starting in a 1–1 home draw against América Mineiro.
On 3 July 2014 Danilo definitely joined Braga. 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. On 26 October, he was sent off in a 2–1 win over S.L. Benfica at the Estádio Municipal de Braga. Danilo scored his first professional goal on 3 January 2015, netting the first in a 1–2 away loss against C.S. Marítimo; he added another on the 18th, in a 3–1 success at Vitória de Setúbal. An undisputed starter when available, his performances attracted the interest of other clubs.
