Rangers star Alfredo Morelos has been in outstanding form as of late and with that brings many potential suitors.
Although it’s clear that the Ibrox side would make a massive profit if we were to sell the Colombian star, Giovanni van Bronckhorst must resist the urge to cash in on him and focus on building a team around the striker for future success.
Rangers have plenty of assets at their disposal now which could generate the club a financial windfall, the likes of Joe Aribo, Ryan Kent, and Glen Kamara have all attracted interest from the Premier League and the key is to demand high fees.
Alfredo Morelos should be kept at Rangers at all costs by van Bronckhorst
Morelos has had a remarkable turnaround since the Dutchman arrived at Ibrox in late November to take over from Steven Gerrard.
The Englishman tweaked the 25-year-olds game by instructing him to drop deep, which allowed him to develop into a more all-around player, but this came at a cost as he didn’t score as often.
Gio has changed all that with slight tactical tweaks and since his two-goal haul against Sparta Prague, Morelos has looked like a man reborn.
Since then, he has played 13 matches and scored eight times, all while missing four matches due to international commitments. It’s fair to say Gio has got the best out of the Colombian, and he is arguably a better player now than at the start of the 2019/2020 season.
The striker’s contract expires at the end of next season, and this is needs resolved as soon as possible. Morelos looks happy again at Ibrox and is in the shape of his life. Rangers need him in form if we aim to win trophies going forward and I think this warrants sacrificing the financial windfall he would generate for the club.
The next few months will be pivotal, yet I think Gio and Ross Wilson can work their magic and tie Morelos down on a long-term Rangers deal.
