Chris Jack confirming that a bid was placed for Chermiti and has since been rejected.
Personally I'd have took the money and ran.
09 Aug 2026 13:32:21
Says club record as well, so has to be about £25 million euros etc, so yeh take the money and run.
09 Aug 2026 13:33:26
No need to grab the first offer when it's that kind of money, and if we are prepared to sell, it should smoke other interested parties.
09 Aug 2026 13:34:28
Matter of time before we cash in.
09 Aug 2026 13:34:33
From Galatasaray. Turkish journo 1st reported it, saying Rangers want 40mill euros. Then Jack followed up with his post.
09 Aug 2026 13:35:11
£22 million, I had heard about this end of last week.
09 Aug 2026 13:39:10
Apparently we want a deal that would be worth almost 40m euros in total, so I'm assuming that's add ons. Or it's because we don't want to sell.
Maybe we've said 30m euros plus 5 in add ons?
Find it strange, but that's now multiple sources in both countries starting that.
09 Aug 2026 13:43:42
Why didn't you say, Wullie boy?
09 Aug 2026 13:50:33
25m + 5m add ons and good sell on % = ✍️✍️ the club value him and one or 2 others around this price.
Chermiti being sold as Raskin has decided to sign a new deal with a release clause of 25m.
09 Aug 2026 14:12:51
I'm not a fan of Chermiti. I think he's a luxury we just don't need. £22 million is fantastic money.
09 Aug 2026 14:16:04
I'd prefer Chermiti goes nowhere for another year. What a career he has in front of him, but we do need a big sale. If Raskin signs another contract, I'd be well happy with that. Would be looking for at least a 20% sell on for Chermiti, and 25m+ and add ons. We'd need cm's to move on if Raskin is staying.
09 Aug 2026 14:26:56
If we can get 25m and a sell on, we should take it. Use the money to heavily invest in a winger, right back and an established CB.
09 Aug 2026 14:31:18
Don't believe much coming out of Turkey, but if it's any like that kinda money take it and run.
09 Aug 2026 14:34:19
SD, you'll need a striker as well. Shankland, Miovski, and Naderi are not firing us to a title. So who's available?
09 Aug 2026 14:35:50
Honestly, think it's crazy how much hate Chermiti gets from his own so called fans.
He's 21, in a different country, playing, had 3 managers in a year, playing with poor players at times, getting next to no service, and he's the main problem?
We have a ton of problems, but he is far from being our biggest problem.
Actually seen fans saying they would happily take 4 million to get rid.
What kinda logic is that, and what message is it sending to the team.
Our fans are disgustingly toxic at times, and it's not exactly appealing for incoming players.
09 Aug 2026 14:48:56
Iron,
💯% agree. Shankland can't play alone upfront, Miovski looks a shadow of his former self, and Naderi might be able to, but is slower than a week in jail and not going to score enough (by far).
09 Aug 2026 14:58:27
So we take the money & run for our best striker last year then what? Skankland has shown he's slow & doesn't like to put in the work (Dundee Utd, he didn't press & walked about). Miovski also doesn't put the work in & looks uninterested. I think Naderi will be fine as a 9 or a 10, but will need help.
Chermiti might not be people's cup of tea but he had the best GPM last season & was good under Rohl in his first proper season as a player, plus he's the first striker in a long time that scores against Celtic.
The player I'd replace him with already joined Celtic so who do we get in then?
09 Aug 2026 14:34:21
Willie 🤥
09 Aug 2026 15:01:56
Blueprint, and nice Bearsbear, look down the thread of my last rumour.
09 Aug 2026 15:05:29
Bid wasn't a formal offer, testing the water is what I was told.
They will come back, there's more than one club interested.
The club will only sell if their valuation is met.
09 Aug 2026 15:08:54
I would sell Chermiti and look for an accomplished, experienced striker. Apart from that, we already have a project striker called Nedri.
09 Aug 2026 15:19:37
Thomas Bobchek is who we should be replacing Chermiti with.
09 Aug 2026 15:33:00
I don't think Chermiti is hated by fans at all. I'd say that he is inconsistent, and that's where criticism comes in, which I think is fair.
The reality is that we can't wait for him to become consistent. A lot of the chat in the past has been about him making us money. It looks like he could now, albeit he has a higher potential ceiling that may come in future seasons, but we need players that will help us win now.
If he had been signed during a period when we were winning things, I think I would have held out, but we need the money to improve the overall squad with consistent performers. If we can sell Raskin for £20m+ soon, I would reassess, but we desperately need to sell some players to bring in £20m+ to help our financials.
09 Aug 2026 15:56:36
If you had mentioned it, Wullie, that's my bad, mate. I've not seen anything posred on any bid. Other than the one I've made or Stevie.
09 Aug 2026 16:56:13
Iron_rangers. I agree, but I genuinely think the lack of supply is having a negative effect on our strikers' numbers and has done for a couple of years.
Today's game, although only halftime, is another example of that. We haven't created any clear cut chances, and are relying on pop shots or shots from a distance.
I am a fan of Chermiti, and I do believe he is the best striker we have, but if losing him means having finances to strengthen with another 2 or 3 strong players, then I think it would be good business.
09 Aug 2026 17:01:24
Just typical, eh, stretched off the pitch the way he put his leg across, got his foot caught in the ground, probably an ACL with our luck.
09 Aug 2026 17:10:49
Thats 25m up in smoke. Definitely a bad one.
09 Aug 2026 17:18:16
Offer now off the table.
09 Aug 2026 17:59:22
In the name of God take the money, then maybe ask Defoe to find a striker for us.
09 Aug 2026 18:07:19
Looks like he is injured now.
09 Aug 2026 18:19:25
I'd like to just add, lads, that Rangersontourofficial were first to break this bud yesterday, and many in here rubbished them.
I don't know anything of them, but give credit where it's due.
09 Aug 2026 18:55:24
Chermiti now injured and will end up running down his contract will go for nothing. 🤣🤣
09 Aug 2026 20:04:03
AR32 what is the valuation you are hearing? I'm told £25m flat fee plus add ons to take it over £30m
09 Aug 2026 21:32:05
Shankland far from the all round striker, but he's not lazy, DJB. If we get our team in order, with a few additions in wings and attacking midfield, I wouldn't want him running about much anyway. Just stay in box.
09 Aug 2026 22:03:36
Is the manager really involved in signing players, or is it a committee of some sort and he has some input but not final say?
