REAL DEAL:Rangers will host the Brazilian wonderkid after a rumored £15.7 million deal.
While Alfredo Morelos returns to scoring goals for Santos, the player that the former Rangers striker replaced is making big plays
against Benfica, a Europa League rival.
The 27-year-old firebrand from Colombia, Morelos, has already scored twice in three games for the Brazilian powerhouses as they
attempt to recover from their first-ever relegation.
However, when Rangers advance to the Ibrox side, they might have to play against the guy Alfredo Morelos is replacing in the shoes of
Benfica forward Marcos Leonardo. The Brazilian striker, who cost over $20 million (£15.7 million) to sign,
is already establishing his worth in Portugal as he makes his maiden venture into European competition.
Benfica’s Marcos Leonardo will play against Rangers.
Marcos Leonardo, who joined Benfica in January, is one of the forwards Rangers will have to watch out for. He has already scored four
goals for the Liga Portugal leaders. The Brazilian joins a group of talented attackers at the Estadio de Luz that includes Angel di Maria,
Rafa, Joao Mario, Arthur Cabral, David Neres, and Casper Tengstedt. Rangers’ forward line may have shown off over the weekend, but
they won’t be afraid of anyone as they try to advance to the Europa League quarterfinals. The Ibrox team faces still another obstacle in
the form of Marco Leonardo, whose high price and media attention provide an additional advantage.Leonardo had just one
appearance in the Europa League, coming off the bench in the thrilling 2-1 victory over Toulouse at home. He will next play Rangers in
the Round of 16.
