Rangers star Alfredo Morelos has earned a recall to the Colombia squad in a busy week for the striker that also saw him switch football agencies.
The striker will join up with his Colombia teammates for the clashes with Bolivia and Venezuela as they look to rescue their faint hopes of qualifying for the World Cup in Qatar 2022.
Morelos, 25, will be hoping for better fortunes with Colombia this time out after failing to even make the bench despite being called up in the last round of fixtures at the end of January.
As a result of the call-up to the heavily criticised Reinaldo Rueda’s squad, Alfredo Morelos also missed the clash at Celtic Park which finished 3-0 to our Old Firm rivals.
As the news of the latest Colombia call-up was announced, you might’ve read plenty elsewhere about the Ibrox side facing a sweat over Morelos’ availability for the next Old Firm at Ibrox on April 3rd.
But with Colombia set to face Venezuela on the 30th of March there is not expected to be any threat whatsoever to Alfredo Morelos’ involvement against Celtic despite reports.
This is a total non-story and Rangers and Celtic fans can expect El Bufalo to take to the field at Ibrox as the campaign restarts for the final furlong.
Colombia star Alfredo Morelos switches agencies as Rangers contract ticks down
That said, there will be more than a few Rangers fans nervous that 11-times capped Colombia international Alfredo Morelos won’t be taking to the field for the club next season.
This is after Alfie switched football agencies as he enters the final year of his contract with the player expected to move on if a new deal can’t be agreed this summer.
According to Transfermarkt, Alfie has switched from World in Motion to Footfeel and Echo Sports, who’ve represented the likes of Inter Milan star Lauraro Martinez, Roma star Borja Mayoral and Paris St Germain’s Achraf Hakimi.
Now in his fifth season at Ibrox, Alfredo Morelos has gone from an unpolished and angsty forward to a genuine force to be reckoned with and after his showings in the Europa League we expect there will be suitors.
The Ibrox striker is not only the Gers all-time record European goal scorer, but Colombia striker Alfredo Morelos is closing in on a prestigious Europa League record too.
