Ligue 1 Lille have reportedly made a bid for Rangers flop Umar Sadiq amid reported interest in Ibrox striker Alfredo Morelos.
According Own Goal Nigeria, the Super Eagles forward has the been the subject of “an improved bid” for his services as current club Partizan Belgrade hold out for £13.5m (€15m).
The lanky Nigerian striker has resurrected his career in Serbia after a disastrous loan spell in Glasgow which saw him sent home early from a loan move with Serie A giants AS Roma in 2018.
Despite flopping in Glasgow, Sadiq, 23, scored 17 goals and laid on 17 assists in only 39 games for Partizan last season and has even been linked to Manchester United in recent months.
It’s not the first time the big striker has been linked with a move to French side Lille either.
CalcioMercato claimed back in June that the Ligue 1 outfit were interested in the striker with then Lille striker Victor Osimhen linked with a move away from Stade Pierre Mauroy.
The Own Goal Nigeria report is claiming that now Osimhen has moved to Napoli, Les Dogues are now moving for Sadiq.

Rangers are said to have rejected a £16.25m bid from Lille for Morelos last week, the club’s fourth move for the Colombian striker [Daily Mail].
Steven Gerrard’s side are said to be holding out for closer to £20m for the forward, a considerable chunk less than what Sadiq would command from Partizan Belgrade.
