The Summer 2020 Transfer Window Now Closed: Zungu signs on loan with option to buy

[CammyF 6,756]

A leading Colombian football journalist had told Rangers fans to expect “announcements soon” over the transfer of Alfredo Morelos to Ligue 1 side Lille. Carlos Aleman of WinSportsTV – who have interviewed Morelos regularly during the transfer window – believes that Lille’s interest in the player has been “reactivated”. “Apparently the negotiation between Rangers and Lille is reactivated for Alfredo Morelos, his absence in the last game is more than a clue. We will have announcements soon.”

I think at this point we need to get him sold ASAP and maximise the potential fee. I'm a bit concerned we don't have the bargaining power we once did with him after he was dropped.

At the end of the day, he cost us 1m or the like, yet scored tons of goals and vital ones in Europe too, raking in more money along the way than many could have hoped for. Getting 15m or whatever will be 14m or whatever more than we paid for him. Just saying.

Yes, I think pride is a big problem for a lot of Rangers fans. It's been well reported both Dembele and Tierney went for £20m+. At the end of the day we shouldn't care, we sell at the best price we can, he has played a big part in making the club money in Europe. Good luck to him but we need a player this season who can stay fit, disciplined and focused for 38 games and Morelos hasn't been that in any of the 3 seasons we've had him.

It's been reported that Dembele went for under £20m.

[der Berliner 3,219]

Not sure who reported what, but TM is rather accurate here and says 19.8m for Dembele and 24.3m for Tierney. It is, in any case, quite "interesting" to note the mhedia silence about the mega-deals of the Scum when applauding their "achievements" in the so-called "9IAR" time, when they essentially had a squad assembled for 30odd million costing more in wages per season than the entire Premiership has paid in in transfer fees over the period of our absence. I would harbour a guess that those sales  - not least to Southampton - actually kept them afloat and going, with the large squad and inflated wages et al. That, and the regular participation in the CL (and "funnily" enough, UEFA threw ever more cash after the CL teams during that period). Let's hope the Hungarians put them to the sword tomorrow ... the howls of anguish about these unfair single-game play-offs will last till x-mas ...

I mean if it's 20m that's pretty good I'd say.

That's about £18m. Time to bite their hand off .... unless there are other parties quietly in the game, which wouldn't altogether surprise me.

Sevilla and AC Milan were being attributed with interest.  I am a little surprised that Morelos wouldn't prefer Spain over France.

[stewarty 1,876]

Throw in a sell-on clause and whatever other add-ons are typically agreed and I'd take £18m
