Rangers are standing firm over Alfredo Morelos… while Celtic are being challenged for their star striker.
Rangers received a bid for striker Alfredo Morelos from the same side chasing Celtic forward Alfredo Morelos.
Steven Gerrard and the Rangers board have convinced Morelos to stay at Ibrox and told Marseille they must offer ‘three times’ as much if they are to even consider a sale.
Morelos is happy at Rangers as he feels he has the full faith of Gerrard, Liga Deportiva report.
Marseille were sufficiently deterred and have focused their attentions on Celtic striker Moussa Dembele instead, with Lyon also in the hunt.
French newspaper L’Equipe report Marseille have made contact with Dembele to sound out the striker, and they are keen on signing him.
Dembele would cost far more than the six million Euros (£5m) Marseille bid for Morelos, and possibly even more than the approximate £15 million Rangers would seek.
Unlike Rangers, Celtic are considering cashing in on the striker, and a sizeable fee is a fairer valuation for the France under-21 international
