Rangers are reportedly in talks over a deal to let Alfredo Morelos leave Ibrox.

According to Sky Sports, Rangers have rejected a £3.75million bid from Bordeaux for striker Alfredo Morelos – but remain in talks about a deal.

The Gers may have focused on new signings this summer, bringing 11 additions to Ibrox to boost Steven Gerrard’s squad, but they have also been letting players go.

Bruno Alves, Fabio Cardoso, Declan John, Carlos Pena, Jason Holt, Harry Forrester, Josh Windass and Eduardo Herrera are among the players to have left Ibrox in what has been an eventful summer.

Sky Sports now report that striker Alfredo Morelos has attracted interest from Bordeaux, but Rangers have rejected a first bid of £3.75million from the Ligue 1 side.

It is though claimed that Rangers remain in talks with Bordeaux about a deal, meaning the Gers may in fact be open to selling the Colombian hitman before the end of the month.

Morelos, 22, has hit 21 goals in 50 games for Rangers since signing from Finnish side HJK Helsinki last summer, with Pedro Caixinha swooping to sign the striker.

Morelos may be a little inconsistent, and big misses against Celtic have been a major concern, but he remains Rangers’ top striker, and it would be a surprise to see the Gers sell this month.

Umar Sadiq is the only other recognised centre forward at Ibrox, and he has yet to start a competitive game for Rangers, meaning selling him would be a major gamble – even if Kyle Lafferty does arrive from Hearts.
