I can’t believe I’m saying this but Rangers will now be asking themselves ‘do we really want to re-sign Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent?’ It’s a viable question because first and foremost the club has to weigh up what it’s going to take to keep them.
For both it will be a minimum three-year deal and probably for improved terms on top of what will already be a good pay packet within the Rangers wage structure. Based on what we are seeing form wise at the moment then it’s a huge question. I said a few months ago that a bit of security might be the key for Kent to rediscover his best form because he’s been well short this season.
Alfredo too needs to do so much more if he’s to budge Antonio Colak because the Croatian looks like he’s absolutely loving life at Ibrox and scoring goals for fun. It’s stick or twist time and Rangers may want to protect their investment and offer more cash to get both players tied down in the hope of them rediscovering their form and selling for £10-£12m in a year or two. But it’s only a few weeks until both players are allowed to speak to other clubs and it’s a huge question whether they should cut their losses if a January bid comes in.
