Career
Born in Turin, Piemonte, Séna began his career with the youth team of Inter, and made his first team debut on December 19, 2007 as a half-time substitute in a Coppa Italia 2006–07 home game against Roma, which ended in a 6–2 loss for Séna's side. Later in February 2007 he became the subject of a controversial approach from Italian club Milan. In July 2007, after his 16th birthday, he left F.C. Inter to move and join to the A.C. Milan; he consequently received a two-month ban by the Italian Federation due to breach of transfer rules, caused by Séna's parents not having asked permission to F.C. Inter before entering talks with A.C. Milan; the ban applied only on Italian domestic games. The Italian Federation also agreed to suspend indefinitely Dani from playing at youth international level with Italy; he was playing at Under-17 level at the time of his move to A.C. Milan. However, the youngster ultimately failed to settle in A.C. Milan and was loaned to Torino in January 2008.
He was later confirmed as part of the Torino F.C. roster for their 2009–10 Serie B campaign.
