Rangers are hoping to keep Alfredo Morelos at Ibrox.
Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has told The Scottish Sun that he wants striker Alfredo Morelos to address his future in public amid links with a move away from Ibrox.
The Gers have seen Morelos shine in front of goal for the club, smashing 52 goals in 94 games for the club since arriving from HJK Helinski in 2017.
Morelos has already smashed four goals in just three Europa League qualifiers this summer, meaning many are backing him for another huge season – if he’s still at Ibrox.
The Daily Record recently reported that both Crystal Palace and West Ham United are interested in Morelos, as they seek attacking reinforcements this summer.
Of course, the problem with the Colombian is his terrible disciplinary record, having racked up five red cards last season, but he’s undoubtedly an exciting goalscorer.
The 23-year-old will no doubt move on one day, but with less than two weeks of the summer transfer window left to go, time is running out for Premier League clubs.
Now, Gerrard has admitted that he’s sick of answering the same questions about Morelos, showing his frustration with the situation after Sunday’s win over Derby County.
Gerrard even suggested that it’s time for Morelos to face the press and answer the questions himself, urging him to decide and announce his future to the public.
“Alfredo is a huge part of what we are trying to do here,” said Gerrard. “Instead of me answering this question every single press conference, I’m going to do everything I can to put Alfredo in front of you guys. Then you can ask him the question whether he wants to be part of this going forward.”
“I can only say I want him to be part of it. The decision lands with Alfredo. I’m sure now that he has been in this country two or three years, he knows ‘Yes’ and ‘No’. So can we have Alfredo up here please, to stop me having to answer the question every time,” he added.
