Alfredo Morelos Rangers transfer latest as striker makes formal Lille 'request'

Rangers star Alfredo Morelos has reportedly requested to be transferred to Lille - and the striker follows the Colombian media outlet on social media.

The Ibrox frontman was left out of the squad for the win over Kilmarnock on Saturday, with manager Steven Gerrard admitting El Bufalo has had his head turned by interest from Ligue 1.

Lille have already had an offer rejected by the Ibrox club, and Pipe Sierra of Win Sports says they're ready to make a new bid.

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."

If confirmed that offer would be around £18million, still short of the reported £20m requested by Rangers.

Interestingly however Win Sports are followed by Morelos himself on Twitter.

It's thought El Bufalo has played his last game for the club, with Gerrard expressing frustration over his attitude.

He said: "I want it to be difficult in every position, going back to the goalkeeper question, I want two good players in every position fighting for their places.

“But if I see people aren’t focused and they take their eye off the ball and they’re not really hungry to get this club results, then I have to make these decisions.

"And Alfredo made it easy for me this week."
