If Alfredo morelos scores plenty of goals for rangers. Then rangers could put him up for sale next summer for £40 million. Anyone agree?

The Colombian Under-20 international arrived in Glasgow last week in order to carry out talks and take part in a medical before the deal was confirmed, and now the 20-year-old has signed a contract which will see him remain at the club until 2020.
Morelos will be Rangers boss Pedro Caixinha’s sixth signing of the summer transfer window, and the young forward will join Ryan Jack, Bruno Alves, Fabio Cardoso, Daniel Candeias, and Dalcio for the club’s 2017/18 campaign.
Gers manager has begun a busy first transfer window with the club, and it’s likely that the boss will be recruiting to ensure his squad is strong enough to compete with rivals, Celtic, who stormed 39 points ahead of Caixinha’s team in the Scottish Premier League and won the domestic treble last season.
