Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos has admirers away from Ibrox.

Rangers fans will know all about striker Oliver McBurnie, as he’s made no secret of his love for the Gers on social media in recent years.

The Swansea City star grew up supporting Rangers, and he has made it clear that he still loves the club – sparking hopes that he would end up heading to Ibrox one day.

A Scotland international, McBurnie starred last season with 24 goals in all competitions, really flourishing under Graham Potter at the Liberty Stadium.

The 23-year-old attacker is now a wanted man, but any hope of him heading to Rangers appears to be over given the money being discussed in his potential transfer.

The Daily Mail report that Sheffield United have now offered £17million rising to £20million for McBurnie, meaning he looks to be closing in on a move to Bramall Lane.

Rangers fans are still interested in the move though, as they feel that the fee involved should cause the Ibrox board to react by increasing their asking price for Alfredo Morelos.

Star Rangers striker Morelos smashed 30 goals in all competitions last season, and the Daily Record report that both Crystal Palace and West Ham United are interested.

Rangers supporters now feel that the McBurnie fee is an ‘absolute joke’, and should spark Rangers into asking for around £30million for Morelos if McBurnie is worth around £20million.

Many feel that McBurnie is a fraction of the player Morelos is, and Rangers would be selling themselves short if they don’t react and hike up their price for the Colombian.
