Adam Daghim

Adam Daghim (Arabic: آدم دغيم; born 28 September 2005) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a winger for Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg, on loan from Austrian Bundesliga club Red Bull Salzburg. He is the younger brother of fellow professional footballer Ahmed Daghim.

Daghim was born on 28 September 2005 in Vanløse, a district of Copenhagen. His father is from Lebanon and his mother from Libya; his family is of Palestinian heritage, and he is eligible to represent Palestine at senior international level. He is the younger brother of professional footballer Ahmed Daghim, five years his senior and also a natural winger, who introduced him to organised football from an early age. Daghim has described having had his own "demons" early in his career, struggling when things did not go his way on the pitch, and cited his father's advice—"You won't go far if you don't conquer yourself"—as a guiding influence in overcoming them.

In 2021, his brother Ahmed suffered a cardiac episode and collapsed during a match while Adam was warming up for a youth fixture in Esbjerg. Learning of it ten minutes before kick-off, Adam chose to play the game, his side winning 2–1 with his two assists, before travelling to the hospital. He described his family's response as characteristically forward-looking: "We must not dwell too much in the past. We must always look forward."

Both Daghim brothers began playing football together at FA 2000, a club in Frederiksberg. As Adam's talent became apparent the brothers progressed to KB, where training became more structured and competitive. He was subsequently recruited into the FC Copenhagen elite youth academy, where scouts were already familiar with the family through Ahmed's prior time at the club. His father and elder brother would compile video clips of his performances for the family to review together on the living room sofa, and Adam later credited his brother with repeatedly telling him that "with the right attitude and hard work, you can achieve incredible things". When he found his playing time limited in Copenhagen's first-year under-17 squad, it opened the opportunity to join AGF, and he relocated to Aarhus in 2021, moving into a dormitory near the club's training ground at Fredensvang.

Daghim became the youngest AGF player to appear in the Danish Superliga when he made his debut on 3 April 2022, coming on as a substitute for the final 20 minutes in a 0–0 draw with Vejle. In the same month, he signed his first professional contract with the club.

On 30 August 2023, Daghim joined Red Bull Salzburg for a reported fee of approximately €3 million on an initial contract until June 2026. He was initially deployed as a cooperation player at Salzburg's affiliate club FC Liefering in the Austrian 2. Liga, where he scored four goals and provided three assists in nine league appearances in the autumn of 2023, and added a further four goals and two assists in six appearances in the UEFA Youth League, in which Salzburg won their group ahead of Benfica, Real Sociedad and Inter Milan. On 18 January 2024, Salzburg extended his contract until June 2028 ahead of schedule, with sporting director Bernhard Seonbuchner saying the club expected "a great deal" from him.

Daghim was promoted to the Red Bull Salzburg first team for the 2024–25 season, during which he scored in the Champions League qualifying round against Dynamo Kyiv to help secure Salzburg's place in the league phase. On 29 January 2025, in a 4–1 home defeat by Atlético Madrid, he scored a stoppage-time consolation—his first goal in the Champions League proper. That summer Daghim also represented Salzburg at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

On 1 September 2025, Daghim joined VfL Wolfsburg on a one-year loan. Wolfsburg sports director Sebastian Schindzielorz described him as "a young offensive talent with a lot of potential" whose "versatility, coupled with his immense speed, makes him particularly valuable for our attack".
