Rangers ‘resigned to losing Alfred Morelos with Leicester, Newcastle and Villa interested’  

Rangers are reportedly set to sell Alfredo Morelos this summer with a host of Premier League clubs interested in their star striker.  

The Colombian has been the main goal threat for Steven Gerrard’s side in the past two seasons and has scored 28 in all competitions so far this campaign.

Morelos’ potent record has attracted a number of potential suitors which include Leicester, Newcastle, Crystal Palace and Aston Villa, according to Goal.

The report details that LaLiga trio Atletico Madrid, Valencia and Sevilla are also keeping an eye on the 23-year-old’s future. 

Italian side Inter Milan, currently managed by Antonio Conte, are also thoughth to be interested. 

It also states that a fee of around £13m (€15m) would be required to lure Morelos away from Ibrox in the coming months. 

Whilst there’s little doubting Morelos’ goalscoring capabilities, there have been serious concerns raised about his temperament.

Since Gerrard arrived at the club in the summer of 2018, the Colombian has been sent off seven times in total.  

Meanwhile, should Morelos leave, Rangers are lining up Liverpool forward Rhian Brewster, who is currently on loan at Swansea, as a replacement.  

The 20-year-old worked with Gerrard while the former Reds captain managed the Under 18s at Liverpool three years ago.
