Alfredo Morelos transfer latest as Rangers tipped to give '£7m Sevilla' offer short shrift

Rangers have reportedly received a £7million bid from Sevilla for Alfredo Morelos as he faces a decision on his future. The Ibrox star has entered the final year of his contract and is yet to agree an extension, having last penned a new deal back in March 2019.

The 26-year-old forward missed the final stages of last season - including the Europa League and Scottish Cup Finals - after undergoing surgery on a thigh injury. He's been hard at work in rehab but speculation continues to swirl around his future with Rangers also in the market for another striker.

Sevilla have been credited with an interest in the past and now Spanish media claim they've tested the water with an opening bid for the Colombian star. El Chiringuito TV report the La Liga side have made an official proposal to Rangers but that the fee is likely to fall well short of the club's valuation.

Morelos impressed for Giovanni van Bronckhorst 's side in their fairytale Euro run last season before his campaign was abruptly ended by the thigh issue, but it appears his exploits were still enough to attract attention from around the continent. It's been reported Rangers have held talks over an extension for the former HJK Helsinki star.

The Ibrox side are keen to sign another forward option this summer and have identified PAOK striker Antonio Colak as a potential option. Colak scored twice against Steven Gerrard's Rangers in Champions League qualifying last season during a loan spell at Malmo.

Former Bodo/Glimt frontman Erik Botheim has also been linked following his departure from Krasnodar. The 22-year-old's contract was terminated back in May following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
