Club career

Born in Barinas, Osorio began his career at hometown club Zamora F.C. in the Venezuelan Primera División, where he won three league titles. In January 2017, he joined C.D. Tondela in Portugal's Primeira Liga on a contract lasting until 2021.[1]

On 31 January 2018, Osorio moved to league leaders FC Porto on loan for the remainder of the season with an option to buy.[2] He made only one appearance as the Dragons won the title, a 2–0 loss at C.F. Os Belenenses on 2 April, starting in place of the suspended Iván Marcano;[3] a communication error with his defensive partner Felipe led to the first goal.[4]

Having signed a Porto contract lasting until 2022, Osorio moved on loan to Vitória S.C. on 5 July 2018 for the season.[5] He played 30 total matches for the team from Guimarães and scored twice, including one on 19 May 2019 on the final day of the season to win 3–1 at neighbours Moreirense F.C. to seal fifth place, qualifying for the UEFA Europa League at their expense.[6]

On 31 August 2019, Osorio was loaned to FC Zenit Saint Petersburg for the season, with the option to buy.[7][8] He made his debut on 17 September in the UEFA Champions League opening group game away to Olympique Lyonnais, a 1–1 draw.[9]

International career

Osorio was first called up for Venezuela in May 2017, for friendlies against the United States and Ecuador.[10] He made his debut on 4 June in a 1–1 draw with the Americans at the Rio Tinto Stadium in Utah, replacing José Manuel Velázquez after 56 minutes.[11]

Manager Rafael Dudamel called up Osorio to his 23-man squad for the 2019 Copa América in Brazil.[12] He played one of their four matches as they reached the quarter-finals, a goalless draw with the hosts in the second group match on 18 June.[13]
