This week @TrueBluesLoyal asked fans about transfer rumours regarding Alfredo Morelos. The fan account referenced rumours surrounding Atletico Madrid’s interest in the Colombian.
Contrary to the account’s tweet, Diario AS, via a Daily Mail article, is reporting that the Spanish giants are looking to snag the player for between £10-15 million, although no fee is claimed in the article from the Spanish media outlet. However, €20 million is worth around £18.5 million in this market, so it is possible that the account was using euros in their valuation of the player.
When the account asked fans what they thought of the rumours, they were eager to see the move happen. While they are thankful for all the goals he has scored for them, they recognise that the money could be much more valuable than the player himself.
Here are some of their reactions.
Sell him

Sell. He’s been great for club and the club’s been great for him. But it’s the right time for both parties to part company.

If it’s true we take that kind of money but it sounds hocus pocus

Can’t afford not to especially the way things are

£10 million would be enough for the huffy wee Colombian

He has to go for that money!!

Take it and move on! He’s downed tools anyway!

We all know he is worth way more but I’m afraid it’s time to part ways, he would still work hard and I do believe he would score more goals but I just feel it’s time. And I agree him and Costa will bully defences in any country.

Good price & let him go with a thank you for the goals he scored & joy he brought.

Would you cash in on Alfredo Morelos?
Yes - The money would be a big help
No - He is irreplaceable
What do we think?
In 45 games this season, Alfredo Morelos has scored 29 goals for the side. He has also assisted his teammates 10 times in these matches.
He has clearly shown his worth to his potential suitors, with Rangers fans suggesting that this transfer could be a good deal for everyone involved.
