Tigres are weighing up a move to sign Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos, according to reports in the Mexican media.
Having failed to land Eintracht Frankfurt’s Rafael Santos Borre, after refusing to match the player’s £8m price tag, they have now switched their attention to Morelos.
With the Colombian international having less than six months remaining on his contract at Ibrox, most fans on Twitter are hoping that the striker is sold:

Think we’re looking at £1M unless this shakes out other suitors. Take it and free up his wages. I won’t boo him out the door, neither will I clap.

Take whatever we can and reinvest

Any sort of fee and get him gone tbh .I can’t actually believe with his weight and reluctance to get into shape he actually has the cheek to want more money than he’s currently on tbh .

Morelos has certainly had a swift fall from grace over the past year and a half. It wasn’t long ago that the Gers were holding out for £20m to sell the forward but he has really struggled for form in front of goal recently.
Some were hoping that he would find a new lease of life following the appointment of Michael Beale but, despite starting four of the new manager’s six matches in charge, his performances for the Gers have continued to be rather poor.
