Alfredo Morelos sees superfan launch bonkers bid for Rangers icon to replace 'scandalous' Sporting striker

A fed-up Alfredo Morelos superfan has demanded Sporting move for the former Rangers striker amid grave concerns over the club's current No.9 Paulinho.

El Bufalo has found limited interest in his services since leaving Ibrox after six seasons of highs and lows and the star admitted last he retains belief a move to one of European football's top five leagues will come off. Portugal's Primeira Liga would make a compelling case to be sixth in terms of hierarchy and that is where one hopeful Sporting punter hopes Morelos ends up next. Antonio Carvalho's appeal was the top response in Portugal daily newspaper A Bola and he reckons Paulinho's "scandalous" goal record could be improved by Morelos.

He also makes the case for fellow free agent Moussa Dembele, however, the Celtic hero is on the verge of joining former Rangers boss Steven Gerrard in Saudi Arabia. Carvahlo – in an impassioned call to arms – writes: "I hereby give my opinion on the Paulinho case. Should Sporting accept a 15m/20m proposal?! The answer is yes, however, no club will give such value. Especially when there are quality strikers without a team, like Alfredo Morelos and Moussa Dembele.

"Paulinho is very weak, despite the fact that he scored the goal that gave Sporting the title, we can make a parallel with Éder, despite the goal having won the title, but he is weak. He is not fit to be the main spearhead of a team that aims to win the title. In addition to shooting little, he does so with little effectiveness, he misses goals in a scandalous way. Last year he scored, I think, five league goals, very little for a team that has other aspirations.

"So, in my opinion, Paulinho, if CSKA's proposal is true, it is to be accepted and dispatched. Salaries are saved,
