Alfredo Morelos likely to leave Rangers in summer
Alfredo Morelos is likely to leave Rangers in the summer after he has switched his agent, according to a report from The Daily Record.
The Colombian striker has been a terrific bargain for the club, and he has justified that by scoring over 100 goals for the club.
He is also third in all-time top scorers in the Europa League and has been in top form under Giovanni van Bronckhorst. The striker was superb against Red Star in the first leg, with the Scottish Daily Express hailing his performance as “sensational”.
However, his current deal is set to expire in 2023, and the likelihood is he isn’t going to sign a new deal at Ibrox.
The Colombian has switched agents to now be represented by Footfeel and Echo Sports. The agency currently represents stars Lautaro Martinez, Borja Mayoral and Achraf Hakimi and doubts remain over his long-term future at the club.
Morelos has previously stated his desire to play in Europe’s top five leagues, and his current agency can help him fulfill his ambitions.
It seems inevitable that at a certain point Rangers will have to let Morelos go. They have rejected big-money deals in the past for the striker, but they could be forced to sell him for a lesser fee.
The Bears are left with a big decision – do they sell him in summer or run the risk of losing him for free?
If Morelos can help Rangers win the Scottish Premiership title for the second season in a row, the financial aspect can still be managed.
At the same time, we have seen Rangers are willing to run down the contracts of players like Conor Goldson instead of cash in by selling.
