Rangers can make major profit if Alfredo Morelos hits 30 goals

Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers have a huge asset in Alfredo Morelos.

We aren’t even half way through the season and Alfredo Morelos already has 16 goals for Rangers this season.

The Colombian only managed 18 in all competitions last term, so it seems like he is set to smash his own goalscoring record come May.

And if he winds up breaching the 30-goal barrier, like Moussa Dembele did in his first season at Celtic, then Rangers must be tempted to slap a £20 million price-tag on him.

Celtic fans mocked Morelos’s reported £10 million price-tag last January but if he emulates the former Hoops hitman then it has to be double that.

The former HJK Helsinki star is 22, like Dembele, and he has three-and-a-half years left on his contract at Ibrox.

He is already worth a fortune to Rangers, but even more so if he winds up with 30 in all competitions this season.

Considering he was signed for only £1 million in 2017 [The Times], the Blues would make a monster profit of around £19 million if, hypothetically, he were to leave for £20 million.

That’s what it cost Lyon to get Dembele and there’s no reason why Rangers shouldn’t be demanding a minimum of £20 million if their red-hot marksman were to emulate the Frenchman.
