FC Midtjylland Star Dario Osorio Joins Premier League Club

Dario Osorio is taking the next step in his career with Crystal Palace, but FC Midtjylland and the Premier League club differ over what happens after his loan ends.

FC Midtjylland says the 22-year-old Chilean will be loaned to Crystal Palace, which is also committed to making the transfer permanent. Crystal Palace confirmed the move on its website, but said the purchase would only be an option once the loan expires.

Osorio joined the Danish Superliga club three years ago. He made 121 appearances and scored 25 goals for FC Midtjylland. According to information reported by Bold.dk, Crystal Palace will pay €2 million for the loan and a further €26 million if it completes the permanent transfer. Bold.dk described the potential deal as a record transfer.

We signed him as a major Chilean talent, and since then we have worked purposefully together to develop him as both a player and a person.

FC Midtjylland sporting director Kristian Bach Bak said the club viewed Osorio's progress with pride. "We signed him as a major Chilean talent, and since then we have worked purposefully together to develop him as both a player and a person," he said. "Now he is at a point in his career where the next step is the Premier League. That is exactly the journey we want to create for the young players who come to FC Midtjylland."

Crystal Palace won this year's Uefa Conference League after beating Rayo Vallecano 1-0 in the final.
