Rangers attacker Alfredo Morelos is reportedly being eyed by Spanish club Real Betis.

According to Marca, the Gers centre-forward is likely to leave Ibrox at the end of the season and move elsewhere.

It is understood that mid-table La Liga outfit Betis want to try sign the 22-year-old over the summer, but it could be difficult to fully negotiate a deal.

The report further details that Marseille have shown an interest and that the striker will listen to offers over the next few weeks.

Morelos has just served a four-game suspension and has had a discipline problem during his time with the Scottish giants.

The Colombia international has scored a remarkable 29 goals in 45 games across all competitions this season and been nominated for the PFA Scotland Player of the Year.

TBR’s View:

Morelos is an enigma that for all his goals and brilliant individual moments, he is just as much a risk and a liability.

His 5 red cards throughout this season highlights the main weakness in his game and Steven Gerrard’s side have coped surprisingly well without their top goalscorer.

He would of course be a major loss at Ibrox for sheer weight of goals, but Jermain Defoe is not a bad replacement and the club would surely gain some good money for him.

This summer may be the ideal time for Rangers to offload the striker and use any money to help invest in the squad elsewhere ahead of next season.
