That’s according to El Futbolero, who say Leicester ‘insist’ on signing the player and believe they can get him on the cheap to boot. They explain that Maresca is keen to keep adding talent to his forward line in the coming weeks after losing both Harvey Barnes and James Maddison. There is also a belief that several other players could depart before the end of the window. Osorio is one of the players who ‘still appears on the radar’ after being linked earlier this year when it was reported that his club, Club Universidad de Chile, were expecting a formal offer. They’re now reportedly keen to reinvigorate that interest, with El Futbolero reporting that they know the player ‘has been devalued in recent months’. They’re now ready to approach the CDA with a proposal of $4m for 75% of the player’s rights. Whether that’s enough to convince the Chilean side into a sale isn’t mentioned but Leicester are certainly keen, with it even explained they’ve sent an ‘emissary’ out to watch Osorio in the clash with O’Higgins. Osorio started that game today and even bagged Universidad de Chile’s first goal of the game in the 5-2 defeat, so perhaps the Foxes will be convinced to push ahead with their interest. Either way, they had a scout in attendance and seem keen on a deal for the player as they rebuild their squad under Maresca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said the other week, at least one of the original signings pops back up again. I’d be pleased with this, he could definitely transition to the PL! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that much about him but ever since we were linked I've tried to get a bit more under the bonnet. He's comfortable off both feet which is a real plus for left footed players and he's quick, direct and seems to be creative as well as being focused on scoring himself. It would be a punt, but ticks plenty of boxes. I'm comforted we are scouting South America! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only concern is he actually hasn't done an awful lot for one of the big 3 Chilean sides, although he is still very young and still well worth the punt. Compared with Aravena though who's numbers are far better playing for another of the big 3, with the added in fact he's also put up good numbers for Nublense.

Also, despite me saying he is a creative type winger, he's yet to register an assist in the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone putting up so few goals or assists for a side as big as his, wouldn't usually attract this much interest. Aravena is my new David Martinez though (until he's eligible for a move anyway 😂) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StriderHiryu Posted 8 August 2023 Share Posted 8 August 2023 This would be a fun signing to make. Who knows if he would make it or not, but a bit of South American flair would go down well with me. Tete might have been a failure for us, but that was a tough situation to come into. Who knows he might have done well for us in the Championship? This is the type of player that could have a very high ceiling, which is why I'd welcome such a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
