In recent days, several Colombian soccer players have had movement in the transfer market. Rafael Santos Borré went from Eintracht Frankfurt to Werder Bremen; Duván Zapata put on the Torino shirt after six seasons with Atalanta; and Alfredo Morelos was signed by Santos, after eight years in European football.
‘El Búfalo’, who wanted to continue on the ‘old continent’ and was about to be signed by Fenerbache, failed to reach an agreement with a team from that continent and will return to South America. The 27-year-old forward from Cereté will seek to compete in one of the most recognized leagues in the world to meet again with the best version of him.
Let’s remember that Morelos had been left without a club, after not renewing his contract with Rangers. The Colombian attacker came to play 269 games with the Scottish institution, in which he reported 124 goals and 58 assists. This remarkable performance, added to the titles he achieved, made him one of the team’s benchmarks and one of the fans’ most beloved players.

Let’s remember that in the 2020/21 season, Morelos and the ‘blue’ team from Glasgow broke Celtic’s hegemony in the Scottish League (it had nine consecutive titles). It should be noted that the Cordoba striker was the top scorer in this competition in 2019, with 18 scores. In 2022, he won the Scottish Cup.
This is how Santos introduced Alfredo Morelos
“Alfredo Morelos is the new signing of the Santos Futebol Clube! One of the main highlights of Rangers, from Scotland, the 27-year-old Colombian forward arrives to reinforce Peixe in a contract valid until August 31, 2025,” was the statement from Santos.
