Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos has been spotted in an Everton jersey whilst back home in Colombia as the South American’s contract situation continues unresolved.

The 27-year-old forward is back in Colombia despite not being called up for the country’s national team, with El Bufalo taking the international break to spend some time back home.

But a snap of Alfredo Morelos wearing an Everton jersey has turned heads on social media with the forward yet to agree a new deal at Ibrox and his current contract expiring in a matter of months.

Yerry Mina clue in Alfredo Morelos Everton kit snaps

Images of Alfredo Morelos in an Everton kit were uploaded to Tik Tok by user @karinaisaruizb, with the player appearing to play a match back in Colombia.

The clip was initially uploaded on the 25th of March and whilst it has sent tongues wagging, it is not absolutely clear why the striker was wearing the kit.

One clue might be the player’s relationship with Colombian defender Yerry Mina, who secured a £27.2m move to Everton from Barcelona back in 2018.

Similar to Alfredo Morelos at Rangers, Mina’s contract at Everton is set to expire come to the end of the current campaign.

Rangers future up in the air

Rangers have yet to agree a new deal for Morelos and there remains much conjecture surrounding his future heading into the final few months of the season.

Reports that Alfredo Morelos had agreed a deal with Sevilla have already been quashed but the La Liga side are not the only ones who’ve been mentioned.

Over the weekend reports emerged regarding Galatasaray interest in Morelos, with the striker certainly not set to be short of options when his deal expires at Ibrox.

Rangers could remain one of them too for the club’s European all-time record goalscorer, but the sounds coming out of the club and Michael Beale in particular suggest that’s a long way off.

It’s not the first Alfredo Morelos link to Everton either, with the striker repeatedly linked to the Premier League side throughout his career.
