Steven Gerrard has admitted he is unsure whether Alfredo Morelos will remain a Rangers player after the international break. The Colombian striker’s future at Ibrox has been the subject of speculation for several months.
French Ligue 1 side Lille have had a £16 million bid for the 24-year-old rejected by Rangers. Despite the offer, Gerrard has been unable to provide any assurances over Morelos’s long-term stay in Glasgow.
“I don’t know,” Gerrard said when asked if Morelos would still be at the club after the break. “That’s a very difficult question for me to answer. I’m taking each day as it comes in terms of Alfredo. He’s trained really well this week but I really can’t control what other teams will do.”
Morelos appeared frustrated while on the bench during Rangers’ 2-0 win over Hamilton Academical, leading former Rangers forward Ricky Forster to suggest the player wants to leave. “He wants to leave, clearly,” Forster told Sportscene. “His body language certainly doesn’t look like he wants to be at Rangers or fight for his place. Rangers would be best to sell him as quickly as possible.”
