It’s no secret that Liverpool are scouring the market for a long-term successor to Mohamed Salah.

The Egyptian King is now 33 and under contract at Anfield until the end of the 2026/27 season. But he’s widely expected to bring the curtain down on his Liverpool career this summer with teams in Saudi Arabia and the United States reported to be keen.

The likes of Yan Diomande, Michael Olise, Bradley Barcola, Desire Doue and more have been named as potential replacements.

But one player who first appeared on the list a couple of years ago is now reportedly back in favour with Reds recruiters.

Liverpool watching Dario Osorio again

“Arsenal, Liverpool and Bayern Munich hold confirmed interest in FC Midtjylland star Dario Osorio,” a report in TEAMtalk reads.

“Despite links to some of the continent’s elite clubs and confirmed interest from the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, such interest appears to remain at the monitoring stage.”

The report suggests that the Chile international could be instead set for a stepping stone club before taking the plunge with a top side.

“For now, a move to a club like West Ham, Fulham or Bournemouth seems the most plausible path forward in his career,” the report reads.

Darío Osorio: Situation summary

Darío Osorio is emerging as one of the most exciting young wide forwards in Scandinavia, a creative, goalscoring winger who looks primed for a bigger league move in the next couple of windows.

Role and form

A left‑footed attacker who primarily plays off the right, Osorio offers one‑v‑one threat, ball‑striking from range and smart final‑third movement for Midtjylland. He has produced strong output in the Danish Superliga and Europe for his age, with double‑digit goals and a healthy supply of assists across his time in Denmark, and has become a regular for Chile.

Contract and recent context

Osorio joined Midtjylland from Universidad de Chile in 2023 on a long‑term deal running to 2028 (with some reports of an option that could effectively extend that), giving the Danes leverage over his next step. The club hierarchy openly see him as a flagship sale and part of a plan to deliver the most expensive outgoing transfer in Danish football history.

Transfer and future

Liverpool, Arsenal, Bayern and several Premier League clubs have scouted him, but current reporting paints Fulham or a similar mid‑tier side as a more realistic immediate destination, with a valuation around €14–25m (£12m to £21.5m). The expectation is that Midtjylland will cash in within the next year if that kind of offer arrives, with a bigger‑name move likely coming one step later in his career path.
