Steven Gerrard admits he's bored of the constant speculation around Alfredo Morelos' future after another summer of transfer talk surrounding the Colombian.
And he admits he has no idea when Morelos will return to training with the striker still in Colombia after competing at the Copa America for his country.
El Bufalo has been heavily touted for a move to Porto this summer and Gerrard revealed he has no idea if he'll be a Rangers player come the end of the season.
He revealed he knows exactly where the speculation is coming from but can't answer any question on whether he'll be at Ibrox for much longer with the league campaign starting next week.
But he insists he's not a frustrated manager because he's excited for the new season, but did admit that he's fed up of hearing about transfers for Morelos rather than what he does on the pitch.
When asked about his future, the Rangers boss told Sky Sports: "I don't know. I can't answer that for you.
"For me, we want the best version of Alfredo, that's all we ever asked for. The manager, the players, the fans, that's all we ask for.
"I've read a lot of stuff around Alfredo. I know where it's coming from but I don't know what's going to happen with him.
"I'm not frustrated, I'm very happy. We're just off the back of a fantastic season and I'm so excited for the next season but I get asked this question every window and every few weeks because you read more about Alfredo in terms of who he is linked with or where he's possibly going to go rather than talk about what he does on a football pitch.
"It's getting a bit tiresome that question."
Morelos is still in his homeland and played a kickabout with friends at his charity base, but his Rangers boss isn't sure when he'll be available for him.
He's focused on getting the players currently in his squad up to speed and admitted he would like to add a couple of more players, but could only give a vague update on Morelos returning soon.
He added: "The important thing at the moment is to get people up to speed that are already in. Glen Kamara who has been a tournament for example.
"Alfredo Morelos is due back at some point, we're not sure when but hopefully he'll arrive when he's ready.
"We've got a few injuries in pre-season we need to get more minutes in to their load so they're ready. The important thing for me is the players we have in the door at the minute and if we can in the coming weeks add one or two to the cause and we'll be more than ready."
