Two French clubs are interested in signing Rangers striker Morelos.

Alfredo Morelos of Rangers is seen during the Pre-Season Friendly match between Rangers and Wigan Athletic at Ibrox Stadium on July 29, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Two French clubs are reportedly interested in signing Alfredo Morelos from Rangers, and Steven Gerrard must consider selling the striker on one condition – if the French sides offer a fee similar to the reported £11million figure from Beijing Renhe in February.

Foot Mercato claim Morelos, who has only scored one goal in five starts this season and struggled in Gerrard’s side, is a target for Ligue 1 clubs Bordeaux and Stade Rennais.

Sunday will have shown manager Gerrard that 5ft 8in Morelos is a commodity that should be sold if the price is right, after he was sent off for a straight red card for kicking out at Aberdeen defender Scott McKenna.

His performances as Rangers attacking spearhead will have only placed more doubts in fans’ minds. Morelos did score 18 goals last season, but he failed to do it in the big matches – failing to score against Celtic despite having golden chances.

The Scottish Sun claim Rangers were preparing themselves for a fee believes to be in the region of £11million from Chinese Super League side Beijing Renhe in February.

If the Gers can rake in a fee of anything near that figure then a sale must be considered by Gerrard, who can then reimburse such figures into a talismanic striker as well as addressing other areas of squad that require strengthening.

Indeed, Morelos’ stock is nowhere near as high as it was six months ago, so receiving anything with eight figures should be accepted by Gerrard and Rangers.
