Former Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos has revealed he remains stuck in football limbo and is no closer to finding a new club.
The 27-year-old Colombian hitman left Ibrox after his contract expired this summer after scoring 124 goals in total during his six-year stint at Ibrox.
But he's yet to find a new team despite clubs across Europe being well into their pre-season training build-up before the commencement of new campaigns.
However, Morelos, in an interview in his homeland, insists he is relaxed about his situation and remains confident he will find a new club soon.
He said: "I have made it clear I want to stay in Europe and play football there.
"We are currently working towards making that happen.
"No, I still don't have anything and there is nothing close, but hopefully something interesting will come up.
"I am calm and relaxed about the situation. I have been able to spend a lot of time with my family for a change, which has been nice.
"I want to play in a good European league which my family would enjoy.
"I am looking forward to the new season, just as I did every single season when I was at Rangers.
"At Rangers, I had great years there and I am proud of how it went for me when I was there.
"My favourite memory was winning the league, but I was pleased with how I did in every season.
"Now it is just a case of waiting for a new opportunity elsewhere."
