Report: Liverpool are one of the clubs interested in £17m-rated forward

Report: Liverpool are one of the clubs interested in £17m-rated forward Liverpool Track Dario Osorio as £17.1m Transfer Race Heats Up Liverpool are among the clubs closely watching Dario Osorio, with TeamTalk reporting that the Chile international has emerged as a serious option late in the summer window. The 22-year-old FC Midtjylland winger is generating growing interest across Europe, and his situation appears to be moving towards a decisive phase. According to TeamTalk, “Liverpool among a host of Premier League clubs monitoring the Chilean winger’s situation at FC Midtjylland” is now the position, with Everton and Leeds United also following developments. AC Milan remain involved too, while Arsenal’s admiration is said to stretch back to last summer. Dario Osorio attracting widespread interest Osorio has built a strong profile in Denmark since joining Midtjylland from Universidad de Chile in 2023. His return of 23 goals and 18 assists in 117 games points to productivity, while 25 senior caps for Chile underline his growing status at international level. He is described as an “exciting 25-cap Chile winger”, and the blend of pace, direct running and flank versatility clearly appeals to recruitment teams. Midtjylland’s stance is straightforward. The Danish club value Osorio at “around €20million (£17.1m / $23.4m)” and are willing to do business if that figure is met. It is also reported that they “have already rejected lower bids” and believe market competition could yet push the final fee higher. Photo IMAGO That matters in a crowded market. Sources cited in the report suggest “a number of Premier League clubs continue to assess him”, while Midtjylland insiders have effectively signalled that a transfer is close by describing a sale as “almost inevitable”. Liverpool winger search continues Liverpool’s interest makes sense in the context of their broader attacking plans. Their desire to add reinforcements out wide has been well established, with previous work on Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye showing a clear appetite to refresh the wide options. Osorio may sit in a different price bracket, but that can often be significant in the final weeks of the window, particularly when clubs are balancing first-choice targets against value opportunities. There is no indication yet that Liverpool have moved beyond monitoring, and “no formal bid has yet been accepted”, but the timing is notable. “The volume of interest suggests movement is likely in the coming days”, which usually means clubs will need to make firm decisions quickly. Premier League rivals complicate move Everton’s presence adds an extra layer to the story. David Moyes is also seeking another wide player and, while other names remain on their shortlist, Osorio has been considered. Leeds United are in the mix too, meaning this is no straightforward one-club pursuit. For Liverpool, the key question is whether Osorio is viewed as a developmental signing with upside, or someone capable of making an immediate impact under Andoni Iraola. TeamTalk’s report makes clear that he is “widely regarded as ready for a higher level”. The next few days should reveal whether Liverpool share that conviction strongly enough to act. Our View From a Liverpool perspective, this feels like a familiar late-window link, interesting on paper, but still some distance from convincing. Osorio may well be talented, and the numbers in Denmark are respectable, but supporters will want to know whether he is genuinely a priority target or simply one of many names being discussed while bigger decisions are made elsewhere. The quoted fee of £17.1m is reasonable in today’s market, which naturally makes the deal sound attractive. Yet Liverpool fans have seen plenty of reports about “monitoring” players, and that language matters. Monitoring is not bidding, and bidding is not signing. Until there is a concrete move, it is hard to get too carried away. There is also the jump in level to consider. Danish football can be a useful proving ground, but stepping into the Premier League, and into a club with Liverpool’s pressure and expectation, is something else entirely. If the idea is to bring in a squad option with upside, fair enough. If the idea is that he immediately strengthens the first XI, many supporters will need more persuading. Osorio sounds exciting, but Liverpool need certainty as well as potential. A late-window market can create opportunities, though it can also create noise. For now, this looks like a situation worth watching, rather than one fans should assume is close.
