As reported by BBC Sport, Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos is currently the subject of interest from Ligue 1 side Bordeaux, who have tabled a bid of £3.75 million.
The 22-year-old has seemingly emerged out of nowhere as a transfer target for the French outfit, but the Gers swiftly rejected their offer, as they seek to keep all their focus in place ahead of the crucial clash with Maribor tonight.
Rangers are in no mood to entertain any interest in their star striker, who has already scored three goals for the club this season.
The Colombian, who joined the club last season from HJK Helsinki last summer for £1 million, is one of only two strikers at Steven Gerrard’s disposal at the moment, and simply cannot be sold by the club, especially given his form.
The hothead has the opportunity tonight to seriously endear himself to the fans. A good performance so soon after the Bordeaux speculation will really help to put him on a pedestal with the fans, making him even more popular that he already is.
If he can play well and help Gerrard’s side into the next round of qualifying, he’ll ensure he’ll get the full backing of the supporters all the way through the season.
Clubs that come knocking in the transfer window is something that has the ability the destabilise things a bit, but a good performance from Morelos will show that his heart is in Ibrox and the project that Gerrard is overseeing.
