Crystal Palace make early approach for Chile international who “plays like Gareth Bale”

Crystal Palace are enjoying another standout season, with the club still competing on multiple fronts as they approach a potentially historic conclusion to the campaign.

The Eagles face Rayo Vallecano in the Europa Conference League final on May 27, a chance to secure European silverware to go alongside recent domestic success.

There has already been considerable squad turnover in recent windows, with Marc Guéhi departing in January and Eberechi Eze sold last summer. On top of that, manager Oliver Glasner is also expected to leave at the end of the season, meaning a wider reset is now firmly on the horizon.

Despite the uncertainty, Palace are not waiting for the window to open before making moves, instead identifying targets early as they prepare for another rebuild.

Crystal Palace Make Approach for Dario Osorio

Crystal Palace are among the Premier League clubs to have made an early approach for FC Midtjylland winger Dario Osorio ahead of the summer window.

According to GIVEMESPORT, Palace — alongside Bournemouth and Everton — have contacted the Danish side regarding the Chile international, who is increasingly expected to move to England.

The 22-year-old has impressed in Denmark this season with eight goals and 10 assists, showcasing versatility across several attacking roles. Although naturally a winger, Osorio has also featured on both flanks and even operated as a wing-back when required.

Midtjylland are understood to value him highly and have already turned down offers worth more than €20m in the past.

Osorio has previously been linked with Arsenal as well, though current indications suggest Crystal Palace are among the clubs pushing hardest at this stage.

Adding to the excitement around the winger is the praise from former teammate Johnny Herrera, who once claimed Osorio “plays like Gareth Bale,” pointing to his explosive running style and direct attacking approach.

For Palace, the move would fit their recent recruitment model perfectly — targeting young, technically gifted players with significant resale value and room to develop further in the Premier League.
