Renegade Ranger Alfredo Morelos ’ future is still up in the air - but the striker has NOT handed in an transfer request.
Respected Colombian broadcaster WinSportsTV reported club top scorer Morelos had “formally requested” the Glasgow giants accept an £18million offer from Lille.
That bid is still short of the Ibrox club’s valuation of the 24-year-old international frontman and Record Sport Online understands the story is wide of the mark.
The player’s future is still unclear with the French Ligue 1 side interested and Steven Gerrard leaving Morelos out of his squad for Saturday’s 2-0 win over Kilmarnock.
The Rangers boss claimed the striker had lost his focus with his “head turned” and warned must show the hunger and fight for his place ahead of Saturday’s teatime trip to Hamilton Accies.
Morelos has close ties with media outlet WinSportsTV and follows them on social media.
Their journalist Pipe Sierra added fuel to the current speculation when he wrote on Twitter: “CONFIRMED: Colombian forward Alfredo Morelos (24) has formally requested that Rangers accept the €20million offer made for him by Lille. Decisive hours.”
