Plenty of Glasgow Rangers fans have been reacting to an update on Twitter from the Heart & Hand Podcast on transfer rumours surrounding Alfredo Morelos.
The ‘Gers-focused podcast claimed (via @ibroxrocks) that the Premiership club have had “no active discussions” with Lille over a possible move for the 24-year-old, a stance which was reiterated by Jordan Campbell in an article for The Athletic.
Club say ‘no active discussions’ with Lille.

Sky Sports had reported that the Colombian had agreed personal terms with the Ligue 1 outfit, who have subsequently been in negotiations with the Light Blues over a possible fee for the striker. According to the Daily Record, the Ibrox outfit believe that Morelos is worth at least £20m, a fee which Lille should easily be able to afford if a proposed £60m sale of Victor Osimhen to Napoli goes through.

The Colombian striker was the Light Blues’ top scorer last season, netting 29 times for Steven Gerrard’s team, including 14 in a Europa League run which has taken them to the round of 16.

These ‘Gers fans on Twitter didn’t seem encouraged by the update on Morelos’ potential move to Lille and weren’t getting their hopes up about the possibility of him staying at Ibrox:
