As you well know, Lille wanted Alfredo Morelos.
They need more strikers to help with the exit of Victor Osimhen, and despite having signed Jonathan David, they want more.
However, their talks with Rangers over the signing of the Colombian striker never really got off the ground, and the player has, for now, stayed at Ibrox under Steven Gerrard.
Things have changed a bit since then, as Foot Mercato explain Morelos ‘hasn’t heard from the French club for a number of weeks’.
Why that is isn’t really explained, but if they still want him, they’ll have to move quickly, because the French website report that Fiorentina ‘have placed the serial scorer at the top of their list’.
That’s all well and good, but Foot Mercato explain the Serie A side have to sell before buying, especially since Rangers’ asking price for their star player still stands at €20m.
It seems to be that or nothing, which is quite understandable as his goals would be hard to replace were he to leave Ibrox.
