# Rangers: Ferguson makes Alfredo Morelos claim

**Barry Ferguson has suggested that Glasgow Rangers Alfredo Morelos may have changed his mind in terms of him wanting a move away from Ibrox.**

### **Morelos may stay**

Morelos was linked with a move away throughout the whole of the summer. At one point, he was reported to have [agreed personal terms with Lille](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/rangers-fc-transfer-rumours/glasgow-rangers-alfredo-morelos-reportedly-agrees-to-join-ligue-1-side-lille/), whilst he also [admitted](https://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/alfredo-morelos-is-open-to-summer-move-away-from-rangers-1595878220000#:~:text=Rangers%20striker%20Alfredo%20Morelos%20admits,opener%20at%20Aberdeen%20on%20Saturday.) that a move to a more prestigious league would interest him. Steven Gerrard even put him on the bench for [three](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alfredo-morelos/leistungsdaten/spieler/338962) consecutive games.

In the end, though, he stayed with the 54-time Scottish champions. Now, club legend Ferguson believes he wouldn’t want to depart at the moment. He [wrote for The Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/rangers-levels-alfredo-morelos-must-22932408):

> *“Why wouldn’t Morelos want to stay at Rangers now?*
>
> *“I understand people want to go and play at the top level in England but he has a long time to go, so he needs to go and achieve things at a brilliant club first.”*

### **Plenty to achieve**

As Ferguson says, the Gers’ current form may entice the [£13.5m-valued](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alfredo-morelos/marktwertverlauf/spieler/338962) Colombia international (Transfermarkt) to stay north of the border. So far this season, Gerrard’s side sit top of the Premiership, and they are also joint-top of their Europa League group.

In the long-term, 24-year-old Morelos may well depart, but right now, he has the chance to write himself into the history of the club if he can contribute to a title-winning campaign. If he can do that, Rangers and their supporters would likely let him depart with their blessing, as long as a club meets his valuation.
