Morelos' value

[JCDBigBear 10,830]

There have been numerous posts in different threads in the past where Alfredo's transfer value is discussed and debated.     In an attempt to put his worth in perspective, 21 year old Daniel James has been sold to Man Utd for £15 million having played only 39 games (6 goals) with Championship club, Swansea City.     Alfredo (age 22) has played 178 games for teams in the top football tier of three countries and scored 100 goals.

Between 15 and 20 million is realistic and fair imo.

 

Probably go for 10 or 12 million, unfortunately.

[SonOfLuther 3,400]

£20 million is neither unreasonable nor unfair.

Hope we play hardball on his price and get it, if we are selling him.

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,840]

Not a good comparison IMO. England is an inflated market and if Man Utd come calling you can immediately stick a few more million on your asking price for a player.

That transfer is only £5m less than the highest anybody has ever paid for a player leaving Scotland & £6m MORE than we have ever received for a player.

Tells you everything you need to know about the market in Scotland.

[kanjo 26,329]

£20million.  

[Big Al 55 9,275]

It comes down to how much someone are willing to pay versus at what level we start considering offers.

[Reformation Bear 6,453]

There are probably broad market norms for transfers involving EPL clubs.  Transfer value norms for them which are unheard for transfers between Scottish clubs and EPL clubs in modern times.   Its not a comparison on a broadly level field basis imo in a football transfer market down South that is, again imo, vastly inflated.

That said market norms are their to be broken so if an EPL club valued Alfredo as an asset that it must absolutely have then provided Rangers (and the player / agent) hold their  commercial nerve it seems to me quite possible to extract a top dollar sale that would push the level of transfer values between a club of Rangers stature and EPL clubs.  

If however Rangers valuation was not all that ambitious it'd be easy enough to sell at a lower value than might perhaps have been possible.    Ultimately of course the selling price for a Rangers player is the price the buyer is willing to pay and which Rangers is willing to accept.   If it is essential to transfer the player to generate any sort of income, and the buyer suspects this to be the case, then clearly there is a risk the player is sold knowingly undervalued.    If cash generation is not a determining force at Rangers then its really up to the DoF to screw as much money as possible out of the buying club regardless of what previous market norms or other benchmarks have been.  Each deal on its own merits and all that.

I don't think he is worth 20 million but somebody might pay it. Somewhere between 12-15 would be what I think clubs will offer. We would have taken less from the Chinese last year.

[Ferris Bueller 1,569]

The latest four lads blog stated £15m as the price the club would deal at.

[TMB 14,167]

If anyone offers us £15m we’ll take it.  Not a bad price if we can get a future sell on fee attached to it.  He’s been looking to go down South for a while now and if he does get it best of luck to him.  He’s been a great player for us and only £1m.

When you consider inflation that deal would be near £12m, so its around £3m more than we've recieved for a player. 

[Negri's lovechild 14,112]

I think we have historically been seen as a club that undervalues players and that may affect the value of transfer offers we receive.

He is easily worth £15 million in today's market. 22 years old, 100 goals, recently become a full Colombian international, but as has been stated previously, that's a good £6 million more than we have sold for in the past. 

We also know the English market is over valued and clubs come looking up here for a bargain. 

I do hope we play hardball with any English clubs and we look at it like other Scottish clubs look at us when we bid for one of their players, add a few million on to the asking price. 

[Prso's headband 35,510]

£15 mill is our starting price from what I’ve heard. 

£18 mill and he’ll be gone. Would love it if we released a statement stating he’s Scottish footballs most expensive transfer ever but I doubt it. 

If he hadn’t got the last red against them and added another 6 goals instead of 1 we’d command the £20 mill quite easily IMO

[pcbear 10,923]

What we need if he is going to go  is a few clubs interested to push up the value in a bidding war, there are very few Morelos type strikers around so that should also be a plus.

Let the EPL clubs pay the EPL going rate if that is going to be his destination, if not we will be delighted to keep him.

I agree with that last sentence. I think his value took a slight hit.

[BookWorm 4,148]

25.5 million pounds please with a good sell on clause.

[gogzy 31,195]

15-20m.  He would be worth double if he was already at an EPL or championship side IMO.

20m is the top end of what I would expect.  I think he will end up going for about 17m

[BlueKnight87 17,301]

It wasn't long ago Stuart Robertson was saying 20m value. I'd love us to play hardball for that fee

My gut says 15 - 17m and morelos will be away.

You have to keep restating this on here.

I can't believe some people have not grasped the concept yet.

[kaiser1041 9,088]

3/4 million I’d say 

[.Williamson. 82,427]

There's a guy in my work wants him gone for any price and wants Moult as the replacement

You're attempting to put his worth in to perspective by comparing him to a winger who plays in a different league?

[siddiqi_drinker 14,635]

Sell him next season after #55

A winger who plays in the 2nd tier of English football.   I am talking about transfer values in general and comparing two players' valuations.
