Serie A
€5.5 million bid for Midtjylland Dario Osorio tied to Kjaer
AC Milan have tabled an offer of up to €5.5 million plus a 30 % resale clause for 22‑year‑old Danish forward Midtjylland Dario Osorio, with former Rossoneri defender Simon Kjaer playing a pivotal role in the negotiations. The bid targets the Serie A club’s need for an extra attacking option.
The proposal is aimed at bolstering the Rossoneri’s offensive depth and reflects Milan’s intent to secure the promising talent. It underscores the club’s strategic focus on expanding its attacking repertoire.
A key factor is the involvement of Simon Kjaer, now a board member at Midtjylland. Kjaer has spoken in Italy, name‑dropping Osorio and effectively giving Milan a direct line of communication.
Milan first identified the forward in January 2023 while Paolo Maldini still wore the Rossoneri badge. Their initial €5.5 million proposal with a 30 % resale clause was rejected by Universidad de Chile as insufficient.
Osorio is a left‑footed attacker who can cut inside, and he has been praised by coach Ruben Amorim. Milan believe his technical ability fits Amorim’s vision and that he can develop further within the Rossoneri’s project.
The €5.5 million offer highlights Serie A’s growing appetite for promising Danish forwards. Milan’s willingness to meet Midtjylland’s valuation signals that Italian clubs are prepared to invest in emerging talent.
For Milan, securing Osorio would add a versatile attacking option and align with their technical blueprint. For Midtjylland, the bid validates their valuation of the Danish striker and could deliver a significant financial return.
