Glasgow Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos is reportedly wanted by two clubs, but Ibrox manager Steven Gerrard wants the Gers striker to stay.
Alfredo Morelos of Rangers
The Liverpool legend, though, seems to have suggested that a massive offer from Bordeaux could persuade Rangers to sell Morelos.
According to The Daily Record, Rangers received an offer of £3.75 million from French club Bordeaux on Wednesday.
The Ibrox club immediately turned down the bid from the Ligue 1 outfit, as reported by The Daily Record, with Rangers manager Gerrard subsequently saying that he wants the Colombian striker to sign a new contract.
Gerrard, though, seems to have kept the door slightly open for Morelos to leave, suggesting that a big offer from Bordeaux could change Rangers’ stance.
“For me, I want him to stay,” Gerrard told The Daily Record about Morelos: “I want him to sign a new deal on improved terms and help the rest of us be successful moving forward.
“I’m wise enough to know that every single player on the planet has a price – but the message to Bordeaux is we don’t want to sell.
“If they want the player then they need to show some respect and come blow us out the water with a massive, massive bid. Otherwise don’t pick the phone up.”
Another twist?
Bordeaux do not seem to be the only club who are (reportedly) interested in securing the services of Morelos in the summer transfer window.
According to Calciomercato.com, Turkish giants Fenerbahce are interested in signing the 22-year-old striker, who is one of the best young players in the Scottish Premiership.
Rangers have to keep hold of Morelos, as the youngster is the best striker the Gers have on their books at the moment.
