GARY McALLISTER has warned Alfredo Morelos to focus ONLY on his job at Rangers.
Ibrox chiefs fear Morelos could be sidetracked by widespread speculation over his future as Gers gear up for the new season.
Agent Miki Bouraoui claimed this week that the Colombian striker has his heart set on a big-money move to Italy.
But Gers No2 McAllister said: “Alfredo has to be fully aware that he is a Rangers player and he is under contract here.
“He is part of the team and part of the squad.”
Macca and boss Steven Gerrard know they could lose Morelos this summer if an offer comes in.
He has been linked with a string of clubs in England and abroad.
But McAllister has told the 24-year-old hitman he can’t take his eye off the ball as Gers prepare for the biggest season of Gerrard’s reign.
He said: “Our only intention at this moment is to get him up to speed — like every other player at this club — going into the start of the season.
“The fixtures will be announced on Monday and we also have the game with Bayer Leverkusen coming up quite quickly after that.
“All the squad are working towards those games.
“I don’t think all the speculation is going to go away but like any player at any club across the entire globe, when a bid arrives that the club thinks is the right bid then that player tends to go.
“But Alfredo is a Rangers player.”
