Youssef Chermiti will be joint-second most expensive sale in Scotland if Rangers demands met
Rangers don't plan on selling Youssef Chermiti for cheap in the upcoming transfer window.
The Gers signed the 22-year-old from Everton for £8million plus add-ons last summer and are now looking to make a significant profit off him.
With the Portugal Under-21 international establishing himself as a big-game player for the Light Blues in the 2025-26 campaign, it isn't surprising to see growing interest in him.
If the Ibrox hierarchy's reported £25m price tag for Chermiti is met, he would become the joint-second most expensive sale in Scottish football history.
The Glaswegian outfit would have a no-brainer decision to cash in on the young centre-forward if their demands are met.
Rangers already in top-five sales list in Scotland
Brighton & Hove Albion made Matt O'Riley the most expensive export from Scotland after signing him for £30m from Celtic in 2024.
Jota and Kieran Tierney are second in the list after their respective moves to Al-Ittihad and Arsenal for £25m, followed by Moussa Dembele in fourth as he switched Parkhead for Olympique Lyon for £19.7m.
Calvin Bassey makes up the top five, as the Govan side sold him to Ajax for £19.6m in 2022 and he now plays for Fulham in the Premier League.
Sozcu journalist Sergen Dag revealed on 6 June that Galatasaray have Chermiti on their radar, with the Gers wanting £25m for him.
Andrew Cavenagh can push for Scottish transfer history at Ibrox
Sources told Football Insider in April that Rangers would only consider selling Chermiti for "big profit" in the summer, with PSV Eindhoven being linked with his signature.
It's clear that the Gers don't mind keeping the Portuguese striker if they can't reach an agreement on his sale, which will only give them more time to develop him.
If the centre-forward continues on his current trajectory, he could potentially establish himself as one of the best number nines in the country, which will only increase his value.
Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises may end up asking for more than £30m for Chermiti further down the line and it will be interesting to see how the youngster's situation in Govan unfolds.
