Alfredo Morelos celebrates birthday as Rangers fans demand 'contract extension'

Alfredo Morelos' wife shared a touching message for the Rangers striker's birthday which sparked a wave of fans demanding he is gifted with a 'contract extension' at the club. The Colombian International star turned 26 on Tuesday.

His sweetheart, Yesenia Herrera, shared a loving message on social media, sending well wishes to the Ibrox player. She posted a sweet snap on Instagram on Tuesday afternoon of the lovebirds posing in front of a glamorous birthday display.

Embracing, the couple were beaming stood next to one table full of black and white cupcakes, and another tiered cake decorated with black and white icing. Matching the sweet treats was a large arch with black, matte grey and silver balloons.

In the centre was an art deco-style light display which read happy birthday while black streamers hung from above.

Dressed to impress, Yesenia sported a fitted, ruched, white mini dress with sweetheart neckline and paired with light pink wedges. Her husband opted for a more casual look with jeans, trainers, a black and white t-shirt and gold chain.

Yesenia wrote, 'Feliz cumpleaños amor, mío' deseo que seas muy feliz siempre' which translates as 'Happy Birthday my love, I wish you all the happiness forever'. Morelos responded to the heartfelt post and wrote 'Gracias mi amor' which translates as 'Thank you, my love'.

His squad also joined in the sending birthday wishes with a post from the Rangers FC official Instagram. A number of photos were shared of the player in action alongside the caption "Happy Birthday, Alfredo Morelos. El Bufalo."

Many Gers fans passed on birthday messages but, as rumours continue to swirl of Morelos moving away from Ibrox as he enters the final year of his contract, many were quick to quip about getting an extension for his birthday.

The Daily Record reported that the goal scorer has been linked to a number of clubs this transfer window - with Turkish giants Besiktas the latest link. The Super Lig cub were first interested in Morelos back in 2018 after he netted 18 times in his debut season for Rangers.

But now the interest has reignited, according to Fanatik. Spanish side Seville have also been linked with Morelos this summer.

Spanish outlet Fichajes reported that Morelos has been watched by the club as they look for a successor to Youssef En-Nesyri, if the Moroccan is sold this summer. Meanwhile SPORT report that Sevilla plan to put on the table an opening offer of €8million (£6.6million).
