Rangers forward Alfredo Morelos has been in fine form for the Gers ever since he joined the club from Helsinki back in 2017. But there’s a huge chance that he could be on his way out this summer.
During the 2018-19 season, the Colombian scored 30 goals in just 48 games which has caught the eye of a number of top European clubs.
Clubs like Marseille and Eintracht have been heavily linked with a move for Alfredo Morelos this transfer window but one of his former teammates has now urged him to stay at Ibrox.
RoPS midfielder and former Helsinki teammate Lucas Lingman has advised Alfredo Morelos to keep scoring goals at Rangers which will help him join a much bigger English club in the near future.
Lingman said: “If he continues to score at the rate he has done in Scotland he can win a move to a bigger club in England. I am not surprised he’s done so well in Scotland.
“He’s mentally and physically fit enough to compete. Yes, mentally, he was so strong. He doesn’t care if you kick him but in Finland, he wasn’t kicked as much as he is in Scotland.
“I hope he can play at a higher level because he is a very good player and a good person and I wish the best for him.”
Recently Steven Gerrard had made it clear that even if a bid lands for Alfredo Morelos this summer, the only way he will allow the striker to move out is if he has enough time to bring in an ideal replacement.
“As a club, we haven’t got a decision to make because a bid hasn’t come in. Will it? Possibly,” Gerrard had said.
“However, if it does happen, it won’t happen late. If someone wants to spend a lot of money on a centre forward and they want to take my centre forward, they’d have to come early.
“If he did end up going, he would be impossible to replace with only days or weeks remaining in the window.
“We don’t want him to go, we don’t want to sell him. But we all know every player has a price and I’m not going to sit here and say he’s not going out the door.
“If a bid lands that the board like and they want to accept, it’s a completely different conversation, but that hasn’t happened. The chairman is on the same page as me. We don’t have to sell and don’t want to sell.
“We understand that if a crazy bid lands on the table, you have to treat it seriously. But, if teams plan to wait until the last week of the window, they’re wasting their time.”
