Besiktas are preparing a €2 million bid for Alfredo Morelos, according to reports in the Daily Record and The Sun.
Steven Gerrard is bound to be tempted to cash in on the Colombian ‘goal ace’ but any move would be a major embarrassment for the club.
In January an Ibrox spin doctor decided to spread the ‘news’ that an £8m offer from a mystery club in China.
That story was cruelly exposed on a number of fronts by internet bampots while others began to create a bidding war with the price increasing to £11m.
BBC Scotland reporter Kheredine Idessane got caught up in the mystery, firstly claiming that there was no interest from China then performing a U-turn to reveal that he had viewed the written bids.
Sevco proceeded to award the striker a new contract but a series of high profile misses against Celtic has saw his value tumble.
With the tribute act now searching every avenue to provide funds for the Gerrard Revolution they may now be prepared to accept £9m less than their January moonbeam.
