Dario Osario is being pursued by several Premier League teams, including Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City.
According to 90Min, Dario Osorio has emerged on the radars of Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool, among other big clubs across England and Europe. The 18-year-old Chilean prodigy, like Alexis Sanchez, is expected to move out of Chile as transfer speculation continues to mount over his future.
Chilean football has stagnated for several years now, as the country has not produced the precarious talents of the past. The previous generations included players like Alexis Sanchez, Arturo Vidal and Gary Medel, but a new wave of youngsters could be coming in the next years.
The likes of Ben -Brereton Diaz and Dario Osorio have emerged on the radars of some high-profile European clubs. The former has been plying his trade in England, but the latter is a raw, unpolished diamond from Chile. The 18-year-old has already shown his mettle with mature performances for Universidad de Chile and has many high-profile sides chasing his signature.
Real Madrid showed an interest in the summer, but the major attraction is coming from England. Reports suggested Wolves had reached an agreement with the Chilean club for the youngster, but those have not been confirmed yet.
As things stand, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City are keen on Osorio, with each of those Premier League sides keen on strengthening their core of young stars. The Chilean certainly is considered one of the top-rated stars in his age group.
Chelsea could be a major contender in this pursuit after new owner Todd Boehly signalled his intention regarding future squads. Having spent heavily in the market to acquire senior players, the Blues also brought in talents like Carney Chukwuemeka and Omari Hutchison in that window.
Man City and Liverpool are looking to add to their stable of young talents. Pep Guardiola’s side has many youngsters, while Liverpool have the likes of Harvey Elliot and Fabio Carvalho. Osorio is a big attacking talent, already likened to former Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez.
The 33-year-old had glowing words reserved for Osorio. Sanchez said, “Dario Osorio has a lot of personality, and that’s important like Gary or Vidal once had. You need personality to play for the national team, and he has it,”
The 18-year-old was recently called up to the Chilean national side but did not feature in any games. His performances in the lower-level Chilean national sides have made clubs stand up in their seats, and the coming windows will prove crucial to determine his future.
