“And there would be no financial pressure whatsoever to sell Alfredo. So I think I can safely say Alfredo will not be going anywhere in January”.
With the Scottish Premiership being the closest it’s been for a decade and Morelos scoring 22 goals and 7 assists already this season, it doesn’t take a genius to work out how important the Colombian is to Rangers chances of maintaining a challenge.
Is Morelos worth £40m?
Yes
No
To top things off, King’s comments seem to have really triggered fans in the east end of Glasgow, here’s a selection of their funniest reactions on Twitter, for a fan group that claims Rangers are a “new club” they don’t half enjoy commenting on any stories that come out of Ibrox.
He’s lying. No fan would fall for this nonsense

That is an objective lie.

If King is saying he values Morelos higher than £40m then Alfredos’ agent will be on the phone in the morning to discuss new contract terms……again.

Ok Fredo is worth 40 million Tavernier is the best right back in Scotland is worth 10 million Ryan Kent is worth 10 million Ryan Jack the best midfielder in Scotland is 30 million Rangers International Football Club team is worth £103m these don’t add up

No one has made a bid for Morelos as it seems that gers are wanting in the excess of £20m which I can’t understand how they’ve come to that valuation. Basically what has Morelos done and won, absolutely nothing. Edward will go for a lot more money HH ????????????

Every newspaper and media outlet that reported King’s statement has a comments section filled with Celtic fans’ responses, despite what they might say, the Old Firm is alive and kicking.
