As per Colombian journalist Pipe Sierra, Alfredo Morelos has formally requested to leave Glasgow Rangers following Lille’s latest transfer offer.
Morelos has been the subject of intense interest from the Ligue 1 outfit, with him even having reportedly agreed personal terms with Les Dogues. The ‘Gers, however, have already rejected one bid of £16m for the Colombia international, as confirmed by Lille president Gerard Lopez.

Sierra has now revealed that another offer has been made for the striker. He revealed on Twitter:
CONFIRMED: Colombian forward Alfredo Morelos (24) has formally asked #Rangers to accept the €20M offer made by #Lille. Decisive hours.

That €20m offer equates to roughly £18m, which would represent some profit for a player that was signed for just £1.08m in 2017. At this point, though, the saga is starting to become a bit tiresome – no doubt Steven Gerrard and Ross Wilson will want this to be resolved as soon as possible.

Whilst he has been a hugely potent presence at Ibrox, with 79 goals in 142 games for the club, no one player is bigger than that team. If this report is genuine, the 54-time Scottish champions would be mad not to accept the offer.
