Manuel Pellegrini has been clear with the Betis board: if there is a priority in this summer transfer market, it is Darío Osorio. The Chilean coach wants the young attacking midfielder from his country at Benito Villamarín and has asked the officials to do everything possible to secure his signing, aware of the quality boost he can bring to the Verdiblanco team.
Osorio is coming off a stellar season in Danish football with Midtjylland, where he dazzled with his skill, his ability to break lines, and his clarity in the final third. At 21 years old, the player developed at Universidad de Chile has grown by leaps and bounds, and despite the disappointment of not being able to continue competing towards the 2026 World Cup with La Roja, his individual performance has attracted the interest of several clubs in the continent.
Darío Osorio, on Betis' radar under Manuel Pellegrini
In Heliópolis, they have already activated the operation, although everything will depend on whether the departure of Jesús Rodríguez is finalized, which could free up space both in the squad and in the budget. Meanwhile, the player's agents are already working to find him a new destination, and although Betis has an advantage due to the bond between coach and player, they are not alone in the race. A French club, with Olympique de Marseille among the names being strongly rumored, is also very advanced in negotiations.
The truth is that Pellegrini considers Osorio an ideal player for his project: young, talented, and with room for growth. Betis is already moving to try to please its coach and add one of the most interesting gems from South American football to Europe.
