An agent associated with Alfredo Morelos has offered the chunky Colombian striker to Napoli!
The Italian giants are halfway through a Champions League last 16 tie with Barcelona after taking four points from Liverpool in the group matches to reach the knock out stage.
Where they would play a striker with the same domestic scoring record as Chris Doidge of Hibs is hard to work out but after three years waiting for a big slice of commission patience is wearing thin with the agents working for Morelos.
It seems as far fetched a story as the battle between Arsenal and Manchester United to sign Lorenzo Amoruso from the old Rangers club before the defender joined Blackburn Rovers for £1m.
Victor Osimhen of Lille is apparently Napoli’s first choice target but Miki Bouraoui, an agent for Alf, has been pitching the case for the striker to Napoli sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli.
Calcio Napoli reports:
Osimhen? Great footballer, if the attacker has arrived in the city and talks to the club, then it means that there is an excellent chance for it to be closed. The possible arrival of the Nigerian excludes the engagement of another attacker; I’m talking about Alfredo Morelos.
Last year he was the top scorer in Scotland and this year he scored a lot with Glasgow Rangers. I had proposed him to Giuntoli , after he had given me his approval.
He is a very valuable player for whom there are different clubs interested, especially in the Premier League, but his preference is to move to Italy (Bologna is also interested).
In three years at Ibrox Morelos has yet to score against Celtic. In 2020 he has scored one goal, against Hamilton Accies with seven red cards collected in the first 18 months of Steven Gerrard being in charge at Ibrox.
