Everton Eye Darío Osorio as Summer Transfer Market Takes ShapeEverton’s search for attacking reinforcements has taken them towards FC Midtjylland winger Darío Osorio, with Give Me Sport reporting ...

Everton are wasting no time in their search for attacking firepower this summer, and reports suggest they've set their sights on a rising star from Denmark. According to Give Me Sport, the Toffees have made contact with FC Midtjylland over a potential move for 22-year-old Chilean winger Darío Osorio.

Osorio isn't just on Everton's radar, though. The report indicates that Bournemouth and Crystal Palace have also approached the Danish club, making this a three-way Premier League battle worth watching closely.

For David Moyes' side, the interest comes at a crucial time. Everton are actively looking to bolster their wide options, especially with Iliman Ndiaye reportedly catching the eye of Manchester United. Meanwhile, Tyler Dibling's difficult transition from Southampton has only highlighted the need for more reliable production on the right flank.

That's where Osorio fits in perfectly. The versatile forward "is comfortable operating on both sides, but has been playing mostly off the right," according to the report, offering the kind of tactical flexibility that modern managers crave. With eight goals and 10 assists this season, the numbers back up his growing reputation.

Osorio's resume extends beyond Denmark. He's already earned 23 caps for Chile and racked up over 100 appearances for Midtjylland, proving he can handle the demands of regular first-team football. His experience in European competitions only adds to his appeal.

But Everton won't get him cheap. Give Me Sport reports that Midtjylland "have already rejected offers in excess of €20 million" for the winger, setting a clear benchmark for any potential deal. While that's a significant investment, it's hardly excessive in today's Premier League market, where young, versatile attackers routinely command inflated fees.

Crystal Palace's interest adds an intriguing subplot. The report suggests Palace may view Osorio as a "Right Wing-Back Option," depending on how their new manager shapes the squad after Oliver Glasner's departure. Even with attacking depth that includes Brennan Johnson, Yeremy Pino, and Ismaïla Sarr, Palace are "still eyeing up more goals and creativity."

One potential complication: Osorio signed a new four-year contract with Midtjylland back in January. But as Give Me Sport notes, "Midtjylland will no" doubt be prepared to listen to the right offer as the summer transfer window heats up.

For Everton fans dreaming of a more dynamic attack, Osorio represents exactly the kind of young, hungry talent that could make a real difference at Goodison Park. The question now is whether the Toffees can beat out their Premier League rivals to get the deal done.
