# Rangers: Phillips urges Gers to sell Alfredo Morelos

**Kevin Phillips has urged Glasgow Rangers to sell Alfredo Morelos as soon as possible and believes it is the right time for the Colombia international to leave.**

### **The Lowdown: Morelos future up in the air**

Morelos’ future has been the subject of much speculation this summer, with Porto in particular said to be interested in his services.

The 25-year-old was even said to have agreed personal terms with the Portuguese outfit ([Antena 1](https://twitter.com/antena1rtp/status/1408115814872535049?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1408115814872535049%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thescottishsun.co.uk%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2F7308949%2Frangers-alfredo-morelos-porto-transfer%2F)), but there has so far not been any concrete offer for the striker.

### **The Latest: Phillips urges sale**

[Speaking to Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/rangers-must-cash-in-on-morelos-after-ibrox-sources-update-pundit/), Phillips has urged the Gers to sell Morelos this summer. He said:

> *“I’ve been saying it’s time for Morelos to go for a while now.*
>
> *“It would help them out financially too if they need that extra cash now.*
>
> *“There are always issues with him, you know he will miss games in the season.*
>
> *“Whether that’s through a red card or an accumulation of quite a few yellows.*
>
> *“I would imagine Rangers are expecting an offer for him now, other clubs know all about the financials.*
>
> *“I think he will go.”*

### **The Verdict: Will there be a better time?**

Unless Morelos signs a new contract at Ibrox – which would be a shock considering he has previously revealed his desire to play in a more prestigious league ([Goal.com](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/morelos-wants-move-to-much-better-more-competitive-league/o3njjy909xhl1u5wq32ihhdvb)) – there will surely never be a better time for the Gers to let Morelos go.

With two years left on his current deal ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alfredo-morelos/profil/spieler/338962)), he still has a strong sale value. If the Gers were to wait another year, the potential fee they could receive for his services would be significantly lower.

Of course, Morelos is a striker with plenty of talent as he has shown with [95](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alfredo-morelos/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/338962) goals in 185 appearances for Rangers, but Steven Gerrard does have a number of other options at his disposal in Fashion Sakala, Cedric Itten, Kemar Roofe and Jermain Defoe. If Morelos wants to leave, the Gers should respect his wish.
