Alfredo Morelos is undoubtedly one of our most valuable players considering his exploits in the Europa League and his status as a Colombian international.

The news that he is potentially interested in staying for another year would be a huge boost although if there are any bids that match Rangers valuation it would be a surprise to see him stay.

However, if we qualify for the group stages and Morelos shines, there could be an added bonus, as former Premier League striker Kevin Phillips explains to Football Insider:

“Morelos’ price tag will increase handsomely if he performs in the Champions League next season.

“Lots of eyes will be on him if he’s playing in the best competition in the world against a higher quality of opposition. It doesn’t matter who you are, your price tag will go up.

“Let’s hope it happens so if he was to move on next year Rangers get good money. It is a win-win for all parties concerned in that case.

“Steven Gerrard will have to manage him carefully again next year. I am sure there will be some bumps along the way but we all know he is a top goalscorer.

“Let’s hope he bangs the goals in next season and then Rangers can make a few quid off him in the summer after.”
Phillips is right of course, when scouting players in Scotland, other teams don’t assess their ability in the Premiership, it is how they perform at the highest stage that sets their price tag and Morelos has broken records and been a consistent match winner.

Should he repeat his Europa League exploits in the Champions League a valuation of £20million is only going to go in one direction, as the former Golden Boot winner says “it’s a win-win”.
