As Alfredo Morelos’ situation at Rangers continues to be followed very attentively by the Portuguese media, we get another update on the striker today.
Newspaper Correio da Manhã points out that Porto keep focused on landing the 25-year-old this summer, but the Ibrox side are doing everything they can to hold him.
The latest news is that the move currently depends on how Rangers will do during the Champions League playoffs, because the transfer is considered to be a lot more likely if the club do not qualify for the group stage.
Steven Gerrard is said to be trying to convince the board that the money from the European tournament would be enough to make an effort and hold the striker for another season.
Now in case the Ibrox club accept the sale, they would want to make it a big one, and that’s why they shall demand €17.5m for the Colombian star.
It’s now claimed that Morelos is ‘satisfied’ at Rangers, but would see a move to Porto ‘with good eyes’.
And since the Dragons don’t want to spend over €12m on the move, they’re starting to look at other options, such as Real Sociedad’s Willian José.
