I just came to post the same, I really hope he is getting a new contract

Why,he just signed an improved extension under 12 months ago?

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Jeez, this would be about his third or fourth contract with us. Love to see the wee man stay but I think we all know he's headed out the door soon enough.

 

[Ter]

He's had about 3 new deals since he joined and his last one takes him to 2023. Assuming he's off in the Summer, what would be the point in giving him another new one?

 

[a_weir]

I swear this is the third contract we've given him.

Tav's the same, forever signing new contracts!

My assumption is the player gets a small bump and the release fee does too.

 

[the nowhere man]

Maybe his agent has a couple of free agents he represents. Not in the know just making 2+2 =5

 

[Bluenose1979]

I'm going to be a doom-monger just for the sheer sake of it and interpret those emoticons as going from Scotland to sign a contract in sunny Colmobia.

Up yees...

 

[Ter]

Maybe there was an agreement that if he stays until the end of the season he gets an improved deal to stop him leaving in January there. Only thing I can think of.

 

[a_weir]

He's had about 3 new deals since he joined and his last one takes him to 2023. Assuming he's off in the Summer, what would be the point in giving him another new one?

Higher release fee.

Higher wages mean a higher transfer fee but let’s hope he just wants to stay longer and get it right up every one of his critics.

 

[SuperGers07]

Third in two years . His last contract was supposedly nearing 30k a week and the clubs highest earner

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

For every year he stays another year added is good business keeps his contract length and value high

 

[elbufalo]

Love the wee man but not sure the point in giving him a new deal when he's already the highest earner at the club, if he picks up another red card it will be some amount in wages just to have him sitting in the stands.

 

[SuperGers07]

For every year he stays another year added is good business keeps his contract length and value high

It does but we also cannot continue to have him sitting in the stands

 

[Rangerstillidie]

He’s worth every penny.

 

[Eddie Doc]

Longer contract means higher fee, not his wages.

 

[sh3lldon]

Why,he just signed an improved extension under 12 months ago?

to maximize value at the point we come to sell pretty straightforward and always been the case

 

[ALittleBitOfTheBubbly]

Assuming he means writing a letter/something connection to what has been written about him in recent days.

 

[Chenksy]

Would be great news if he signed a new contract

 

[Dylanbear]

Up yees...

That's the worst attempt at spelling Colombia I've ever seen.

 

[PortoyMortoy]

Hopefully not. We need to stop handing out new contracts to players who are already signed long term. Giving Morelos what feels like his 20th contract extension in 2 years when their side have zero leverage would just be silly. You wont see too many teams giving a guy who has 3 and a half years left on his deal a new contract, especially at this level

 

[LeithGer]

Maybe his agent has a couple of free agents he represents. Not in the know just making 2+2 =5

thought that could be a possibility.

according to transfermarket they do represent a few Colombians but couldn’t see any free agents

 

[lcpl_1st_bt_1872]

pointless imo he has another 3 years left on his contract as it is

 

[last minute signing]

For every year he stays another year added is good business keeps his contract length and value high

Exactly. May cost us a few quid to give him a new contract but keeps any potential transfer fee at its maximum. If there’s no potential fee he stays and scores goals. A win win for both parties.

 

[Haining84]

to maximize value at the point we come to sell pretty straightforward and always been the case

I can’t recall a player literally signing a new deal every season.

 

[BigBuff]

Why,he just signed an improved extension under 12 months ago?

Because a happy player signs a contract to stay at a club, who knows we may be able to add in a higher release clause or he might be willing to stay another season

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

It does but we also cannot continue to have him sitting in the stands

Absolutely

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Maybe Alfie is extending his contract with the Agent - rather than with the Club. Just a thought.

 

[kincardinefc]

prob to insert clauses if he is away in the summer

 

[SR11RFC]

Whatever the reason it cant be bad.

 

[TukTuk to Bangla]

His price tag keeps rising so i'd imagine we'll be increasing the release clause in every contract he signs.

 

[ScottC1182]

Just a hinch but maybe nothing to do with a new contract. The guy could be here to deal with things that have happened off field recently. Morelos is obviously an asset to his agency and they could be in town to make sure that matters are dealt with in Alfie' favour.

 

[Trueblueal]

£45m release clause, agent makes it public, agent also gets say a £2m bonus. See who bites. My wee theory

 

[Jimmy Jazz]

pointless imo he has another 3 years left on his contract as it is

Nothing to do with the amount of time left on his current one.

 

[MrMosshead]

While it would be great I can't see it given the number of new contracts already. Hopefully I'm totally wrong!

 

[TwoBadMice]

Another Columbian joined one without a club?

 

[Trueblueal]

Another Columbian joined one without a club?

Interesting theory, can't see it though. Think the squad is staying as is

 

[The_Irrepressibles]

Thats not Freddy in background going through door. Free agent or young starlet from colombia signing is my guess.

 

[LaidbackLaudrup]

That's the worst attempt at spelling Colombia I've ever seen.

Didn’t even notice that at 1st, actual LOL reading that back.

 

[Kuznetsov's Curly Hair]

If it's a higher minimum fee release clause then I'm all for it. Win win situation

 

[TibbsyBear]

That's the worst attempt at spelling Colombia I've ever seen.

Colmobia. The fear of Colombia

 

[Valley Bluenose]

I know the photo in the OP is from Instagram but I note there's nothing on Michael Gorman's Twitter suggesting anything going on with Alfie/at Ibrox.

 

[djgers]

Better not ask sky to translate the message! New contract would be a bonus tho as have been assuming that he will be off in the summer.

 

[bofa72]

Alfredo is a major asset for the club, no issue at all with him signing another improved deal.

 

[AzorIbrox]

He’s currently well secured under a contract. Adding more wages & time to his current deal isn’t going to boost his value.

Only his goals will.

 

[BearAbroad]

As far as I am aware he will be down to 2 years this summer. If the summer passes and we fail to receive a suitable offer, his value will progressively diminish as his contact runs down.
If he has indeed signed a new contract then I am all for it as it will safe guard any transfer we would receive when he does move on.

 

[Craigie]

Why,he just signed an improved extension under 12 months ago?

14 goals in Europe far this season may have promoted a new deal, if this is the case.

Despite media attempts to play it down he is one the form strikers in European football just now.

You, back to school.

 

[ald]

My understanding - from someone who claims to know and should know - is that his current contract has no minimum release clause.
