A handful of Premier League clubs continue to keep tabs on Chilean youngster Dario Osorio. However, the situation surrounding the winger is now moving beyond simple monitoring as a move to Bournemouth begins to take shape, ahead of competition from the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal.
The 22-year-old has been steadily raising his profile at FC Midtjylland since arriving from Universidad de Chile in 2023. While his overall numbers already point to a player on the rise, his most recent campaign shows clear progress.
This season, Osorio has scored six goals and 10 assists in 38 matches. He has improved both his output and impact in the final third. His per-game numbers also highlight that growth.
Furthermore, his shots on target have increased from 0.7 to 1.1 per match. Additionally, his successful dribbles remain consistently high at 2.2 per game.
These improvements come with its ability to cover already identified ground. He continues to contribute defensively as well, making him a more complete wide player.
Previous interest is now turning into concrete steps
England’s interest is not new, but the scenario is changing.
Liverpool have followed the development of Dario Osorio for some time first made an approach Value around €8.7m-€10m (£7.5m-£8.6m). That proposal did not meet Midtjylland’s expectations. Still, the winger remains on their radar scouts are keeping an eye on him in Denmark.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have retained their place long standing interest. His recruitment team has also kept a close eye on him in recent months. This continues the process that began when the club’s South American scouting structure first recognized his potential.
However, the main change in recent weeks has been the emergence of AFC Bournemouth as the most active suitors.
According to a Chilean newspaper thirdBournemouth have already sent scouts to the MCH Arena to watch Osorio live and are now preparing a possible offer. This puts Andoni Ierola’s team ahead of Liverpool and Arsenal at this stage.
Other Premier League clubs remain in the background. West Ham United and Fulham FC are also monitoring the situation, specifically as a possible intermediate step before a move to one of Europe’s elite sides.
Midtjylland’s stance and what comes next
Midtjylland is well prepared for this moment. The Danish club earlier this year extended Osorio’s contract until 2030. This puts them in a stronger negotiating position. Internally, he is seen as one of their most valuable assets open to major future sales.
Recent claims from Chile indicate that Midtjylland are aiming to break the Danish transfer record, which is currently set at around €24m (£21m). Plus, more conservative expectations put his minimum valuation closer to €18m (£15.5m).
That difference highlights the situation clearly. There is strong interest and buzz is growing, but it remains to be seen whether any Premier League team will be able to meet the level that Midtjylland is aiming for.
With Bournemouth now pushing hard and Liverpool and Arsenal monitoring closely, Osorio’s future is entering a more decisive stage.
