Rangers star Alfredo Morelos was linked with a move to Real Betis earlier in the season [originally Football Scotland], and now it looks like the La Liga outfit are set to reignite their interest.
Spanish outlet eldesmarque.com are reporting that Betis are preparing to pounce on the Rangers talisman. And that they’re prepared to pay.
The report claims Betis will test Rangers resolve with a tantalising €23m (£19.75m) bid. Should this genuinely be the case, it’s incredibly unlikely Rangers will reject the offer.
Club managing director Stewart Robertson told the ORSA Convention that Rangers valued the striker at close to £20m. This is roughly the amount that former Celtic striker Moussa Dembele moved to Lyon for.
Rangers have made it clear that they will not accept meagre bids for the player. The likes of Bordeaux bid £3.75m at the start of the season, an amount Steven Gerrard described as derisory.
But when you’re talking close to £20m for the player, Rangers will seriously be forced to listen.

It’s mega money that’s reportedly on the table from the La Liga outfit. It’d provide a serious boost to the Ibrox club’s coffers going into next season.
Whilst it’d be a real shame to lose the much-loved Morelos, can Rangers really turn that kind of money down? It’s very unlikely.
And given Rangers recent transfer interest, it very much feels like we’re preparing for life without the striker anyway.
