A summer of uncertainty is surely looming for Alfredo Morelos and Rangers, but what is the minimum the Gers should accept if they are to sell the Colombian international?
Steven Gerrard and the club have already started preparations for the next campaign, officially agreeing a deal for Jake Hastie this week.
Morelos could well go in the other direction though, as a report this week from The Express claimed the striker is on “thin ice” after his red card in the last Old Firm clash with Celtic.
But what price tag should the club stick on their 29-goal front man? A few of our writers at Football FanCast have given their verdicts down below…

“It’ll be incredibly interesting to see who comes for Morelos should he be put on the market. On his day, he’s a phenomenal player but his horrendous disciplinary record means Rangers should accept just about any offer that comes in. However, a sensible fee for the player would be something around the £15m-£20m mark. With that, Rangers could make mass improvements to the squad and the title will be much closer.”
Luke Glanville
“Morelos is perhaps Rangers’ most important player, and Steven Gerrard will undoubtedly do everything in his power to try to keep the Colombian this summer. However, if they can’t then the club needs to make sure they get the right price for him. All things considered, this should be no less than £30m in today’s inflated transfer market. By setting £30m as their asking price, the Gers would be giving themselves a win-win scenario. If someone meets that price, they’ll get a welcome cash injection. If not, they’ll get to keep their star man, a player who’s imperative to their chances of challenging Celtic next season.”
Billy Meyers
“Morelos is basically Rangers’ best player and their main source of goals, so anything under £30m in this day and age shouldn’t even be considered by Steven Gerrard. Even despite his woeful disciplinary record, there will be clubs willing to pay that somewhere, seeing as players such as Christian Benteke have gone for similar fees. A player of his pedigree, and at an age where he can only get better, is definitely worth that sum of money in this market.”
