Liverpool are reportedly tussling with rivals Everton for the signing of a new winger, as Bradley Barcola rumours continue.
Liverpool eyeing Dario Osorio alongside Everton
According to a report from Campo in Denmark, and relayed by Sport Witness, the Reds are keen on signing Midtjylland wide man Dario Osorio this summer.
Liverpool are thought to be keeping a close eye on the 22-year-old, along with Merseyside rivals Everton and AC Milan.
No teams have submitted offers for Osorio yet, so there is nothing concrete about a move happening, but he is another exciting option.
A right winger, he could help fill the void left by Mo Salah, having scored three goals in 25 caps for Chile.
This comes on the same day that the Times‘ Paul Joyce has reported that Rio Ngumoha is likely to be used on the right rather than the left this season.
He adds that Barcola would operate on the left if he joins, so if Liverpool opt against signing fellow PSG man Ibrahim Mbaye, Osorio could be an alternative.

On this day in 2006, Liverpool signed Dirk Kuyt from Feyenoord for a fee of £9 million.
After a slow start amid much hype over the signing, the Dutchman became a crowd favourite when switched from a striker to a right winger by Rafa Benitez.
Barring Steven Gerrard in that era, there was no better man for the big occasion, with huge goals scored against the likes of Man United, Everton, Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Inter Milan.
Kuyt also struck in the 2012 League Cup final win over Cardiff, and by the time he left that year, he had netted 71 times in 285 appearances.
