Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Osorio.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 29 → 53). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 50, top 3% of the 36 defensive midfielders in the Superliga. At 22 Osorio is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 14.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Osorio missed 3 games through injury (muscle, yellow cards) out of roughly 32 this season. The 28 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

2.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 6) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 6 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 74.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.56 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 49.9, Osorio carries the 1st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Superliga (top 3%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
