Rangers fans have reacted with dismay to reports that Alfredo Morelos is set to join Lille.
The Colombian striker has been linked with the likes of Lazio, Napoli and Everton among numerous others, but it is believed that he has agreed personal terms with the Ligue 1 club.
It leaves manager Steven Gerrard extremely short upfront, with Jermain Defoe having injured himself in the pre-season friendly against Motherwell at Ibrox.
French journalist Mohamed Bouhafsi this morning tweeted: "Alfredo Morelos has agreed personal terms with Lille. The club is now negotiating with Rangers over a fee."
Supporters are eager for the club to secure a reasonable fee for Morelos, and some are questioning whether the likes of Lyndon Dykes or Sam Cosgrove would be adequate replacements.
Here's what fans have been saying.
"If the Morelos stuff is true, I trust the club to get the right deal. No point even entering discussions if their opening offer isn't over £15m. We need to replace Morelos, sign another forward and still come out ahead, so there's no point in selling until you're at about £20m" - @CemetryGates89
"Gerrard has Morelos locked in a windowless room at Ibrox. He stubs out a cigarette, leans over Alfie & points behind him. Morelos looks up at a whiteboard on the wall, it contains a picture of Scott McKenna & a red card. He smiles. 'One last job and you’re out'" - @Shuttsapalooza

"Replacing Morelos with Dykes or Cosgrove is the equivalent of asking your maw money for van and her telling you there's choc ices in the freezer" - @AndyRitchie12
"If we take £15m for Morelos we have f***ed ourselves. Joint top scorer in the Europa league. Colombia international. Solanke & McBurnie went for £20m. Birmingham sold a 17 year old for £25m & Peterborough said they wouldn’t sell Toney for less than £13m. Have a think. £25m+" - @Loopy72Wardrope
"The timing of this Morelos thing disturbs me more than anything. It's a week until the season starts and a couple til Leverkusen" - @bobsyshambs
"If Morelos goes for a good price it’s no a disaster, s***e timing right enough with Aberdeen in 6 days" - @crossy72_
"Morelos is gonny be the biggest 'don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone' player ever" - @SICKB0Y_
"Can somebody make an Morelos goals and highlights YouTube compilation to the tune of Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You please" - @lloydpato
Morelos joined Rangers in 2017 and has scored 77 goals in 137 appearances since arriving at Ibrox.
