Alfredo Morelos, the former Rangers striker, has found an unexpected football team to keep him busy during his free agency period. After twelve weeks of being without a club, the Colombian forward has joined a team of doctors from the Cordoba region in Colombia.
Since his departure from Rangers was confirmed in May, Morelos has been on the lookout for a new club. Despite rumored interest from clubs across Europe, the 27-year-old remains without a contract. Morelos has been keeping fit in the gym while waiting for potential suitors to come forward.
However, recently he was spotted back on the football pitch, but not in the circumstances he had hoped for. Morelos was seen wearing a bright yellow bib, resembling those worn during casual five-a-side matches, in an Instagram story posted by his friend Luis Angulo. It turns out that Morelos was playing alongside a team composed of Colombian doctors, known as Selecormed.
This unexpected affiliation with a team of medical professionals suggests that Morelos is keen to maintain his sharpness and readiness for whatever his next move may be. Although he desires to continue his career in Europe, his most recent link has been to Brazilian club Santos. However, the Brazilian transfer window is closed, and Roma is interested in signing Santos striker Marcos Leonardo.
If Santos were to sign Leonardo, they would need to replace him with a free agent. Morelos could potentially be the option they are looking for. While the situation remains uncertain, it is clear that Morelos is keeping himself active and prepared for any opportunities that may arise.
As fans eagerly wait to see where Morelos will end up, his involvement with a team of doctors reminds us of the versatility and adaptability that footballers possess. It also highlights the bond that sports can create across various professions and backgrounds.
Whether Morelos will land a deal with a European club or become an unexpected signing in Brazil, only time will tell. For now, he continues to train and play alongside his unlikely teammates, showcasing his enduring commitment to the game.
