Dídac Vilà Rosselló (born 9 June 1989 in Mataró, Barcelona, Catalonia) is a Spanish footballer who plays for RCD Espanyol on loan from A.C. Milan, as a left defender.
Club career
Vilà joined local RCD Espanyol's youth system at the age of 10, making his senior debuts in 2008–09, helping the reserves promote from the fourth division, as champions.
He was promoted to the first team by manager Mauricio Pochettino, making his La Liga debut on 30 January 2010, in a 1–0 home win against Athletic Bilbao, and finishing his first professional season with 11 league matches (starting and playing all the minutes in every match), as the Catalans finished in mid-table.
After missing the first months of 2010–11 due to physical problems, Vilà once again gained first-choice status at Espanyol, taking over longtime incumbent - and also a youth graduate at the club - David García. On 28 January 2011, he was bought by A.C. Milan in Serie A.[1]
After only one official appearance for Milan, Vilà returned to Espanyol in early June 2011, in a season-long loan.
International career
In 2011, Vilà received his first callup for the Spanish under-21s. That year, he was selected by manager Luis Milla to the UEFA European Football Championship in Denmark, playing all the matches and minutes for the eventual champions.
