Lille could be set for a further £22.5m boost to their transfer coffers amid links to Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos.
The Ligue 1 outfit have reportedly had a £13.7m bid booted out as the Gers look to secure a deal closer to £18.2m for the talented Colombian striker [FootMercato].
Having already sold Victor Osimhen to Napoli for £54.7m this window, the French side’s Brazilian defender Gabriel Magalhaes is also being linked with a megabucks move away.
According to the Daily Mail, the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Everton are all interested in signing the 22-year-old centre-back to the tune of £22.5m
Napoli have also been linked with a double swoop on Lille by taking the centre-half to the San Paolo alongside Nigerian international Osimhen.
Speaking to L’Equipe, Lille president Gerard Lopez also confirmed the player would be leaving this summer.
“We have other offers for other players but we have not had discussions with their agents,” explains Lopez.
“With Gabriel, we are discussing and we have agreed to let him depart. He will choose his next club over the course of this week.”
It means that Lille could well be about to have raked in over £75m in the transfers of two players already in this transfer window.
Many Rangers fans believe that the Ibrox club shouldn’t sell their star man for any less than £20m.
Rangers signed Alfredo Morelos for £1m from HJK Helsinki back in 2017 and he has gone on to make 137 appearances for the club, scoring 77 goals and laying on 29 assists.
