Liverpool move closer to record deal with third scouting mission

Liverpool are likely to make a lot of changes to their first-team squad in the summer.

Although many fans thought that the 2026-27 summer transfer window would be a quiet one, it's clear that more players need to be brought in.

Arne Slot and Richard Hughes have managed to spend around £450 million on new players this season but it's clear that more new faces need to be brought in.

Depth has always been a massive problem for Liverpool and, with the number of injuries that their team have suffered this term, it's now clearer than ever why the Reds still need new players.

And now, it seems like one of the first players they're going to try and sign could end up being a record-breaking deal.

Liverpool sent scouts to watch FC Midtjylland vs Nottingham Forest

Many players have already been linked with an Anfield switch this summer.

Almost every area of Slot's squad could do with an upgrade or two, especially if they want to try and win the Premier League or the Champions League next term.

So, it's hardly surprising to see that the Reds' scouts are already putting in work ahead of the window.

And, as per a fresh update from Danish outlet Bold, Liverpool were present for the Europa League clash between FC Midtjylland and Nottingham Forest.

"Liverpool, Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund thus have scouts in place at FCM's home ground," they wrote.

"Clubs such as Frankfurt, Mönchengladbach, Ipswich and Monaco will also attend the match.

"It is far from the first time that big clubs have taken a look at Herning.

"Liverpool and Dortmund have been to the MCH Arena several times during the season.

"Recently, the former was linked with FCM star Dario Osorio."

David Osorio could end up being a record-breaking signing for Liverpool

Liverpool's interest in David Osorio has been well documented over the last couple of months.

The Chilean is only 22-years-old but he's still managed to contribute to 16 goals across all competitions.

His natural position is on the right wing but Midtjylland have played him as a number 10 and as a number nine this season.

Osorio is one of their key creative assets and, even though Liverpool would have to fork out a record fee for Midtjylland to acquire his services, it feels like it could be money well spent.

Others such as Yan Diomande and Yankuba Minteh have been linked with an Anfield switch but, since both of those players would cost an obscene amount of money, Osorio may be the safer bet.

That is, especially since they'll need to find a replacement for the Egyptian King within the next year or so due to the date his contract expires.
