Rangers star Alfredo Morelos 'denies' Sevilla pre-contract link with Ibrox future up in the air

Alfredo Morelos has told Rangers that NO pre-contract agreement is in place with Sevilla despite reports in Spain linking him with a switch to La Liga, according to a report.

The Colombian hitman is one of many Light Blues stars who are heading out of contract in the summer with talks over his future whether that be in Glasgow or not beyond the end of the season yet to take place. The hitman has enjoyed many highs across his time at Ibrox since joining from HJK Helsinki and established himself as a real fans' favourite.

Michael Beale confirmed after the Scottish Cup quarter-final win over Raith Rovers that he is yet to speak to the Rangers star and now he has told the Ibrox side that nothing has been agreed with any other club report the Daily Record. He is free to speak to potential suitors like many of his colleagues in Govan including Ryan Kent and Ryan Jack - although Beale has now publicly expressed his desire to retain both.

Speaking at the weekend, the Rangers boss stated: "Listen, Alfredo had the shirt. He was the only striker fit and did very well. I think in the last 14 games he has seven goals and five assists. There is the one thing he has performed. He is training well in the background but I like Toni's energy [Antonio Colak] and I put him in. In midweek him and Fashion [Sakala] were fantastic. They had a bit of a contrasting game today.

"In terms of reports from the outside I've not spoken to him. He is free to go and speak to other people. We've not spoke to or offered him anything. We've not offered anything to the out of contract players. We want to have a look and keep talking.

"Ryan Jack is in a place I have said publicly I would like him to stay and the same with Ryan Kent.

"Alfredo's situation is slightly different. He's been at the club a long time, but I need to see a little more from Alfredo day in, day out. I think when he has played and when the team has needed to play he is fine. But I want some more energy in the final third. Can he provide that? If he can then he is a better option than he has been in the last few months.

"I think that is just fair, everything that I am saying has been told to his face as well."
