Club career

Dávila is a youth academy graduate of Peñarol. On 31 August 2017, Spanish club Real Sociedad announced the signing of Dávila on a two-year long loan deal with an option to buy.[4][5]

On 3 February 2018, Dávila made his debut for club's reserve team Real Sociedad B which plays in Segunda División B, the third tier of Spanish football league system. He came on as a 81st minute substitute for Marcos Celorrio Yécora in his team's 1–0 win against SD Amorebieta.[6] He returned to Peñarol after the expiry of loan deal, as the Basque based side decided not to activate his purchase option.

On 6 October 2019, Dávila made his professional debut in Peñarol's 1–0 away loss against Liverpool Montevideo.[7]

International career

Dávila is a former Uruguay youth international. He was part of Uruguay national under-20 football team which finished third at 2019 South American U-20 Championship.[8] On 20 January 2019, he scored a brace in his team's 3–1 win against Ecuador in group stage of the tournament.[9]

Personal life

Dávila is the grandson of Walkir Silva, who notably scored Peñarol's second goal in their 2–0 win against Aston Villa in 1982 Intercontinental Cup.[10]
