Turkish side emerge to offer Morelos last gasp escape from Ibrox

Alfredo Morelos is reported to be a transfer target for Turkish side Konyaspor.

With the Turkish transfer window open until midnight on Wednesday the striker may finally be about to escape from Ibrox- five years after the first stories of bids coming in from mystery clubs from China.

Konya is 540 km west of Kahramanmaras which was at the centre of an earthquake earlier today, Komyaspor are currently in eighth place in the Turkish Super Lig.

So far Mickey Beale hasn’t been able to sweet talk Morelos into signing a new contract despite knowing the boy since he started secondary schooling in Columbia. Beale spent a few months in 2017 as an assistant manager in Brazil before being sacked.

The Ibrox money men will have to decide whether to take a token fee and save on wages or retain Morelos knowing that he is almost certain to leave the club in the summer.

Thanks to Beale’s coaching ability Antonio Colak and Fashion Sakala can step in to replace Morelos with Kemar Roofe expected to resume full training this week after shrugging aside a sore shoulder.
