Rangers FC forward Alfredo Morelos has been tipped to join FC Porto this summer but as per the latest reports, the Portuguese side might be shifting their focus.
Glasgow Live are claiming: ” Porto are considering a move for Willian Jose if they can’t persuade Rangers to drop their Alfredo Morelos asking price.
“The Colombian hitman has been heavily linked with a move and reports in Portugal suggest they have had a bid of €12m plus add-ons rejected.
“And they are now willing to make a move for Real Sociedad frontman Willian Jose as a plan B to Morelos, although they could make a move for him even if they sign the 25-year-old.”
Should Rangers FC sell Alfredo Morelos now?
Steven Gerrard has confidently stated in a recent interview that he expects the forward to finish his national duties and rejoin them for the remainder of the pre-season camp.
The manager said: “We all know how proud Alfredo is to represent Colombia. He’s on the other side of the world but we still have our eyes on and still making contact and making sure he’ll do the right thing.
“When he finishes in the tournament he’ll have a short break and then come and join us for the rest of pre-season and we’ll try have him ready for game one as well.

“It’s important he does the right things when he stops until he comes back because he’ll have a very short pre-season and we need Alfredo to be fit and firing for the important games coming our way.”
While this will be great news for all the Rangers FC fans but Alfredo Morelos has only two more years left on his current deal with the club so this might be the perfect time for them to cash in on the striker.
Last year also, the Gers refused to sell him despite interest from some pretty big European clubs. And this year too they seem to have the same intentions.
But they are already being offered only €12 million for a world-class player and next season, this price will only go down further.
Yes, we can understand that €12m plus a few add-ons is not a great price for someone as talented as Alfredo Morelos but if they can’t make him sign a new deal then all these robust transfer decisions will mean nothing.
