Jamie Murphy suggests Alfredo Morelos will leave Rangers at some point
Jamie Murphy is confident that Alfredo Morelos will leave Rangers at some point in the future.
The Colombian striker struggled for form at the start of 2018 when he was signed by Pedro Caixinha.
However, he has become a talisman figure at the club and has joined the elusive club of players to have scored 100 goals for the club.
Murphy, who played with Morelos at Ibrox, reckons that the Colombian is ready to shine in the Premier League if there’s an offer.
“I think so,” said Murphy to PLZ Soccer when asked about a transfer move and if Morelos can shine in England.
“But sometimes that is the appeal of Rangers. People don’t realise how good they have it at a club like that and they don’t want to leave.
“People don’t stay at clubs forever so I’m sure eventually he will try something different and be a success.”
Looks likely
The Colombian striker is the club’s record European goalscorer and he has served Rangers well since joining from HJK Helsinki back in 2017.
He has had his ups and downs at Ibrox, but the striker has always repaid the faith of his managers with goals.
This season, he has been in superb form as well, managing 12 goals in the Scottish Premiership so far. His performance in Europe has been widely praised, with Scottish Daily Express hailing him as “sensational” (11 March).
Morelos has a contract at the club till 2023, and chances are highly likely that he won’t renew his deal at Ibrox.
The 25-year-old has also recently changed his agent which indicates that he is already planning to leave Glasgow at some point in the near future.
Rangers will face Celtic in their next Scottish Premiership clash on Sunday and Morelos is a big doubt for the game, after he picked up a thigh injury whilst on international duty.
Losing him in such a big game will be a huge blow for the Gers.
