Despite being linked here and there with an exit, Alfredo Morelos has never seemed likely to leave the Ibrox, but that could change very quickly.

According to Foot Mercato in France, Espanyol in La Liga are ‘moving’ for the Colombia international, who could cost them around €16m.

This sudden desire to sign the Rangers forward has come after they sold Borja Iglesias to Real Betis for €28m, meaning they have the funds require to make Steven Gerrard and those in charge of the Scottish club seriously think about a sale.

The issue here would be the lack of time to replace Morelos, who has been in fine form since the start of the 2019/20 campaign, scoring 10 goals in 11 games so far as well as picking up three assists.

Rangers have already been linked with Amiens striker Moussa Konaté, so he could be the ready made replacement for the Colombian.

Gerrard denied Rangers had made a move for the player a few days ago, but that might quickly change if Morelos ends up leaving over the weekend.

This could get interesting really quickly.
