# Glasgow Rangers: Lille owner confirms interest in Alfredo Morelos

**Lille owner Gerard Lopez has [confirmed](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/53743025) that the Ligue 1 outfit are still looking at Alfredo Morelos despite the arrival  of Jonathan David.**

Les Dogues [confirmed](https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2020/official-lille-sign-jonathan-david-from-gent-for-a-reported-e30m/) the capture of Canada international David on Tuesday, with them parting with €31.5m (£28.4m) to take him to France. They have been linked with a move for Morelos, as well, and are even said to have [agreed personal terms](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/rangers-fc-transfer-rumours/glasgow-rangers-alfredo-morelos-reportedly-agrees-to-join-ligue-1-side-lille/) with the Colombia international, but they have recently had a £16.25m bid rejected (The Daily Mail [via The Scottish Sun](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/5904714/rangers-fc-news-reject-bid-lille-david/)).

Lopez, though, has confirmed his club still maintain an interest in Morelos. He explained to BBC Sport:

*“Obviously Morelos is a good player.*

*“He’s part of a list of players we’ve looked at, but we’ve made a move for another player, so we have something like 11 offensive players for four spots now.*

*“He’s a player who is extremely effective and at this stage we’re watching, but nothing’s done.”*

Lille may well be interested, but events over the past week or so could mean that any deal is in jeopardy. Victor Osimhen may have parted for a fee of around [€70m](https://guardian.ng/sport/nigerias-osimhen-joins-napoli-from-lille/) (£63.2m), but almost half of that has now been spent on David, whilst the side have also found themselves in trouble in regards to [breaches of FFP regulations](https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/english-soccer/wolves-found-in-breach-of-financial-fair-play-rules-by-uefa-1.4325041).

As such, they may find it hard to match the Gers’ reported [£20m](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/3954353/rangers-alfredo-morelos-celtic-moussa-dembele/) price tag for their 24-year-old star striker.
