Alfredo Morelos £16.25m transfer 'bid' shut down as Rangers boss Steven Gerrard gives signing update

Steven Gerrard has dismissed reports Rangers recieved a £16.25m bid from Lille for Alfredo Morelos.

It was claimed on Saturday the French side tabled an offer for the Ibrox striker.

But the Rangers boss has shut down those rumours and insists the club have yet to receive a satisfactory offer for the Colombian.

He said: "I'm under no immense pressure to move people out.

"But I am trying to shorten the squad and get people back playing football.

"I know we're going to receive bids for some of our players but sitting here right now I haven't received a bid that I'm happy with for any of our players so we move along with what we've got."

Gerrard is still looking to make one more addition to his squad during the transfer window.

He added: "I've said before we're still looking to add another player in the engine room but there's nothing to report as of yet. We're always looking to strengthen but the majority of our business is done.

"The important thing to know is that along with myself, the board wants this team to get stronger to give us the best possible chance to compete on all fronts."
