# Alfredo Morelos is one man that Rangers fans won’t let go cheaply

**Last night, news broke that Bordeaux had lodged a bid for Rangers’ Colombian striker, Alfredo Morelos. However, a lot of the supporters laughed off the derisory bid for the 22-year-old and will be looking forward to seeing him bag tonight away at Maribor. The story came from *[The Evening Times](https://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/16422398.rangers-reject-bid-from-bordeaux-for-striker-alfredo-morelos/?ref=twtrec)* and has done little to rattle the Gers, who are convinced Morelos will stay.**

According to the report, the French club only bid a fee of £3.75 million and that in itself is enough to make plenty of Bluenoses chuckle. Morelos looks to have improved his game a lot in his short spell under Steven Gerrard and whilst playing in Ligue 1 might provide more opportunities for the youngster, it’s simply not worth giving up the opportunity and first-team spot he’s got at Ibrox just yet.

There’s no doubt that at some point the striker will be carted on for a big fee, but for now, the Colombian frontman will be keen to better himself in Glasgow before moving on to bigger things. It’s just a matter of time before the striker gets an international call-up too, having netted seven times in six games for Colombian’s U20s and if he can add a top class season with Rangers to that then it’s a matter of time before he’s lining up with James Rodriguez for the national team.

The supporters are desperate not to sell Morelos unless a sizeable bid comes in for him and whilst that looks unlikely, they can sleep easily knowing that the frontman will be staying put at Ibrox.
