Daniel Alves de Lima (born 6 December 2004), simply known as Daniel, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a forward for Hungarian club Zalaegerszegi TE on loan from Atlético Goianiense.
Career
Born in Goiânia, Goiás, Daniel began his career with Vila Nova before joining the youth sides of Atlético Goianiense in 2021, for a rumoured fee of R$ 250,000.[1] He made his first team debut with the latter on 30 January 2022, coming on as a late substitute for Brian Montenegro in a 1–0 Campeonato Goiano away win over Iporá.[2]
Shortly after making his first team debut, Daniel suffered a knee injury,[2] which sidelined him for the remainder of the year.[3] After recovering, he scored his first senior goal on 12 February 2023, netting Dragão's second in a 3–1 away win over Inhumas.[4]
On 15 April 2023, Daniel renewed his contract with Atlético until 2028.[5] He was mainly a backup option during the 2023 Série B, contributing with one goal as his side achieved promotion.
