Glasgow Rangers hope to sign Sean Goss permanently.

Ian Holloway, manager of QPR looks on during The Emirates FA Cup Third Round match between Queens Park Rangers and Milton Keynes Dons at Loftus Road on January 6, 2018 in London, England.

Rangers’ hopes of signing midfield star Sean Goss on a permanent basis at Ibrox were dealt a blow this week.

After Graeme Murty stated his interest in loanee Goss, QPR boss Ian Holloway responded with disappointment.

SkySports reported Holloway being upset that he had not been contacted directly by Rangers.

There remains a long time until the summer and these bridges can be mended, even though QPR are keen to keep hold of Goss.

What it may take is a substantial transfer offer from Rangers, and they only way they can do this is by cashing in on their most valuable player, Alfredo Morelos.

The Colombian is Rangers’ top scorer this season with 13 goals and has attracted interest from Chinese clubs this past month.

Not wanting to give him up mid-season, Rangers rejected a bid worth £9.5 million from Beijing Renhe this week, the Scottish Sun reported.

What Rangers have to determine, is whether Morelos is worth sacrificing to sign Goss?

A striker may be easier to find than a midfielder who has displayed Goss’ rare talent at Rangers so far this season.

A bid of above £5 million would allow QPR the chance to make a huge profit on a player they signed for just £500,000 a year ago, and will be of interest to the board no matter what Holloway says.
