Rangers star Alfredo Morelos' agent blasts Napoli transfer link as he calls striker's 'representative' a liar

Alfredo Morelos' agent has hit back at reports linking his client with a move to Napoli and has called the person claiming to be the Rangers striker's representative a "liar".

Calcio Napoli claims the Colombian forward has been 'offered' to the Serie A side and that his preferred destination this summer is Italy as he continues to be linked with a move away from Ibrox.

The same report also suggests Napoli's interest in Lille talisman Victor Osmihen could scupper any possible deal for Morelos.

This is all according to Morelos' so-called representative Miki Bouraoui.

He said: "(Victor) Osimhen? Great footballer, if the attacker has arrived in the city and talks to the club, then it means that there is an excellent chance for it to be closed.

“The possible arrival of the Nigerian excludes the commitment of another attacker. I’m talking about Alfredo Morelos. Last year he was the top scorer in Scotland and this year he scored a lot with Glasgow Rangers.

“I had proposed him to Giuntoli (Napoli sporting director), after he had given me his approval.

“He is a very valuable player for whom there are different clubs interested, especially in the Premier League, but his preference is to move to Italy.”

But Morelos' agent Michael Gorman insists that Bouraoui is a "liar" and that he has no connection with the Rangers man or his agency World in Motion.

He told Golombianos: "We do not know him (Bouraoui). It has nothing to do with us or with Morelos. He is a liar. "
