Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos has reportedly asked Rangers to let him leave Ibrox.
The Columbian has been the subject of a bid from the French club Lille and it is believed Morelos now wants to make the move to the Ligue 1 outfit.
He was dropped from the Rangers squad at the weekend.

Colombia-based journalist Pipe Sierra this afternoon stated Morelos wants to leave, he said: "CONFIRMED: Colombian forward Alfredo Morelos (24) has formally requested the #Rangers to accept the 20M offer € made by him by #Lille."
Steven Gerrard said that Morelos made the decision to leave him out of the squad for the Kilmarnock match "easy".
The Rangers boss said he only wanted to "pick players who are hungry for the shirt".

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
