Former Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos is in talks with Santos to cancel his contract.

This is according to his agent Martin Camono who claims that the Colombia international is looking to leave the Brazilian side after their relegation.

Morelos made just three appearances for Santos as they dropped into the second tier of Brazilian football for the first time in their history.

It was reported that the 27-year-old had a clause in his contract that would allow him to leave on a free transfer if Santos were relegated.

And now his agent has provided an update on the situation. Camono said: "We are in talks with Santos' sports director Alexandre Gallo to see what is best for Alfredo and for Santos.

"We want to be clear we have had no discussions about wage reductions for Alfredo. Santos are obviously going through a difficult time and we want to help anyway we can.

"At the moment, there are no proposals for Alfredo from clubs, but we are looking at different markets so see what would suit Alfredo best.

"There are many possibilities in the football world and we are working to come up with a solution here."

Meanwhile, Philippe Clement has opened up on the inside joke he shared with Todd Cantwell as he was subbed off in the 3-1 win over Kilmarnock.

The Rangers midfielder netted his side's third goal of the afternoon just after the hour-mark and was later subbed off with minutes left.

Clement hailed the "evolution" of Cantwell since his arrival at the club and joked he was much happier to withdraw the midfielder with minutes left rather than in the first half.

It comes after Cantwell was withdrawn in the first half against Aris Limassol in the Europa League group stage.

Quizzed on Cantwell, Clement said: "It's difficult to take out one player, it's a total story and every player has his own working points. And that's my job and the staff to point them out and work on that with them.

"I am happy with the evolution Todd is making and I prefer to take him off in the 87th minute rather than the 37th minute.

"I told him also when he came off...he found it funny!"
