Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos is reportedly a late target for Turkish Super Lig side Konyaspor as their new manager targets reinforcements before the window closes.
The Turkish transfer period shuts tomorrow evening and according to a report in the Herald, Rangers could be rocked by late interest in their resurgent Colombian.
Indirectly quoting reports in Turkey, the paper claims that Konyaspor could try to force a deal through for Alfredo Morelos before their window shuts this week.
This comes amid a public plea for reinforcements from newly appointed Serbian manager Aleksandar Stanojevic and the failed pursuit of £23m ex-Real Madrid star Isco, with three attackers on a wishlist.
“I have never experienced such a situation,” said Stanojevic.
“This team needs player reinforcement if we want to go up the table.
“I have presented three attackers I want to buy and I have been told the transfers will be completed in this window.”
Konyaspor linked to Rangers star Alfredo Morelos
Out-of-contract in the summer, there is much debate over the future of the 26-year-old striker who has generally experienced a downturn in form over the last few seasons.
An injury in the last campaign has rocked his Ibrox career and, prior to the appointment of Michael Beale, now-Konyaspor linked Alfredo Morelos seemed destined for the Rangers exit door.
But since the former Ibrox assistant has come into the club Alfredo Morelos has been in resurgent form and if Konyaspor do bid for the striker Rangers face a genuine dilemma.
Since the appointment of Beale, El Bufalo has six goals and four assists in 11 games, leading plenty to believe that all is not lost on the contract front.
Rangers also face a shortage of options up top if Morelos was to leave, with Kemar Roofe perennially injured and Antonio Colak working his way back to fitness.
Meanwhile, here’s the latest on Rangers-linked Darius Olaru.
