Liverpool Ruled Out of Race for £17m Mohamed Salah Replacement Dario Osorio
Liverpool FC is reportedly no longer pursuing Midtjylland attacker Dario Osorio as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah, who is set to leave Anfield at the end of the 2025-26 season. According to journalist Ben Jacobs, while Osorio was previously tracked by Liverpool, the club is not an active suitor. Instead, Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, and Everton have emerged as the primary English clubs interested in the 22-year-old, with bids exceeding €20 million required. Salah’s departure follows a challenging campaign where he scored only seven Premier League goals, partly attributed to manager Arne Slot’s tactical system. With Salah leaving a year before his contract expires, Liverpool faces the urgent task of reinforcing their forward line. Other linked targets include Anthony Gordon, Bazoumana Toure, and Yan Diomande. The upcoming 2026-27 season marks a significant transition for the Reds as they aim to remain competitive without their historic star player, necessitating swift and effective recruitment decisions by Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes.
