Clubs in three countries reportedly want to take Alfredo Morelos away from Scottish Premiership giants Rangers but is he leaving Ibrox?

Is Alfredo Morelos on his way out of Rangers this summer? If you had asked that question a few months ago, when the Colombian was scoring goals for fun, the answer would probably have been an undisputed yes.

Now, however, no one seems quite so sure what the future holds for Morelos.

Turkish publication Fanatik reported on Thursday that new Rangers manager Steven Gerrard was keen to keep hold of the club’s 18-goal top scorer amid supposed interest from Super Lig giants Fenerbahce.

But latest reports in the Mail suggest that this could be easier said than done.

It is understood that clubs in France, Turkey and China are planning bids of around £6 million for the 21-year-old centre-forward, whose representatives expect firm offers to be made in the coming weeks.

Whether £6 million would be enough to tempt Rangers into a sale, however, seems unlikely. The Mail adds that the Ibrox giants turned down an £8 million bid from the Far East earlier in the year.

The former HJK Helsinki talisman has been frequently linked with a move to China or Turkey but clubs from France have not been mentioned before.

Morelos, a strong and stocky striker, would surely prove a good fit for the physical nature of French football.
