Rangers legend Barry Ferguson has been talking about Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos and Rangers’ asking price for the player.
And far from big the Colombian up like many Rangers fans would expect, he actually values him about half of what Rangers do.
Speaking to PLZ Soccer and quoted by the Scottish Sun, Ferguson claims Morelos is “touching £10 million”.

They got Morelos in for I think £1million,” said Ferguson. “In the market what is he worth? £8million? £10million touching?
“So that’s the kind of market Rangers are looking at. Guys who can come in do well and sell on and make a good profit on it and put back into the first team squad.”
That’s in stark contrast to the words of Rangers Managing Director Stewart Robertson. Whilst speaking at the ORSA Convention,
Robertson said Rangers value Morelos at the same price as Moussa Dembele.

Despite delighting fans with a new contract at Ibrox, Morelos could still be on the move this summer. The likes of Borussia Dortmund [Sky Sports], Eintracht Frankfurt [
Daily Express] and Marseille are said to be interested.
Is Ferguson right in suggesting Morelos is only worth £10m or is he undervaluing one of the club’s biggest assets?
