Does anyone know if we definitely turned down a bid of £13million in january there from Fenerbahce for youssef Chermiti ? I know there were stories at the time but can't remember the actual full story ? Perhaps John, EHL or Aphelion would know this info ?b
16 Apr 2026 07:56:27
No, we didn't. Fenerbahce said at the time they did not bid for him nor are they interested.
16 Apr 2026 08:17:49
Looks bound for PSV mate.
16 Apr 2026 08:26:02
I honestly don't think PSV could afford the transfer fee Rangers would be wanting for Chermiti Stevie G. ?
16 Apr 2026 08:59:30
Coops, I know their record is £15m but Chermiti won't be much more than that.
I say yous get him for anoit €18, that's within PSV budget.
16 Apr 2026 09:05:03
If we can get anything over what we paid for him, we ought to be biting their hands off. I find it hard to believe any big hitter is waiting in the wings to snap him up.
16 Apr 2026 09:08:21
I would probably agree, StevieG, that's about his current value but with another season he'll be worth a lot more. And, given that Everton also get a big percentage of profit, that's not worth it. Been massively critical of him but wouldn't be selling now unless it's crazy money.
16 Apr 2026 09:31:27
Walter, not according to my sources, typical Turkish blah.
Stevie, Rangers value Chermiti much higher than 15/, we r managed differently now.
16 Apr 2026 11:11:18
Chermiti will be sold for 30 million.
16 Apr 2026 11:25:10
Surely, The Rangers Da, you see the big potential in Chermiti. ? I agree with John regarding our American owners. They won't sell Chermiti for anything less than £20million. ?
He's still only 21 years old and has huge potential. ? I remember reading an article from the superb Portuguese player Luis Figo not long after we signed Chermiti from Everton.
Figo stated then that he had watched the talented Chermiti as a youngster all the way through until now, and said Rangers had a very talented striker on their hands, with huge potential. ?
16 Apr 2026 11:27:26
I think if Chermiti stays another season at Rangers and continues to improve, then I think it will be a Scottish record transfer fee when we sell him the following season. ?
16 Apr 2026 11:37:25
As has been stated a few times on here, any striker aged 21 or younger that scores 10+ goals in a season in a top division will be on the radar of clubs in the big 5 leagues.
We have an excellent prospect on our hands in Chermiti, as he is only going to improve and fulfill more of his potential.
Couple that with his strength, pace and ability to hold the ball up, and he's essentially gold dust.
Just look at how much Man United paid for Rasmus Hojlund.
16 Apr 2026 11:55:57
I'd bet a lot of money we don't get 20 million for Chermiti or even close. Why did no one but Rangers spot that 9 million bargain then last summer? We are easily pleased these days, he's had good moments, the goal v Celtic was world class but nowhere near enough from a main Rangers striker.
If someone is crazy enough to offer 10 million plus, then we should be biting their hand off. For the ones who think he's worth 20 million, he should have no problem firing us to the title over the last 5 games then? I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see it.
16 Apr 2026 11:57:02
Well, hopefully the scouts weren't at the Dundee United game last week to see him miss such easy chances. For me, he's far too rough around the edges. Do we have time to wait for him to maybe come good or do we cash in? I'd say the latter.
16 Apr 2026 11:59:05
Surely we're past the 'if we can get what we paid' for Chermiti line of thinking. He's proven he has real talent. He's scored some absolute worldies. Mostly against Celtic. His potential is now very obvious and we should be looking to double what we paid if not more.
16 Apr 2026 12:17:55
The problem there, Goram, is that the Scottish league isn't seen as top league by any other countries.
16 Apr 2026 12:33:39
I would take getting our money back for Chermiti, yeah, he has looked good in 2 or 3 games but he has been poor in a lot more. Granted, he turned up on Sunday, and if he does that in all the games between now and the end of the season it might be a different conversation, but I don't see the "potential" that a lot on here do.
Maybe, being an older supporter, I am just comparing him with what I've seen in the past and he doesn't measure up.
16 Apr 2026 12:41:05
Can't see us making much of a profit if any on Chermiti.
16 Apr 2026 12:44:02
Ally, think he means a top division as in the top division in a country.
16 Apr 2026 12:50:39
Jack boy. Clearly, it was Thelwell that alerted Rangers and pulled the strings. At the time he wasn't being touted for sale from Everton.
16 Apr 2026 13:04:01
How many games this season has he looked like a £20 million player?
16 Apr 2026 13:24:48
John, glad to hear it, mate, and so they should.
I'd still say Euros EUR18m is a fair price with the sell on, but if we can get more, then by all means let's try.
16 Apr 2026 13:28:53
Teddy, McBurnie sold for around 20m 7/8 years ago, mate. Chermiti is at another level ability wise. We will easily make money on Chermiti. Wouldn't be accepting anything less than double the fee we paid for him.
16 Apr 2026 13:46:44
I think the general value of players from our league has finally started catching up with similar leagues. Celtic regularly selling their better players for 15m+, Bassey fee, and fees like 6m for Jefte/Bowie/Miller show clubs won't sell cheap anymore.
16 Apr 2026 13:59:02
Surprised in all the chat I've not seen any comparisons between Chermiti and Igamane. Both young strikers with raw ability but lots of room to grow. Both got their first real top level football at Rangers. Igamane, 12 goals in 33 games with us, Chermiti on 11 goals in 25 games. Think both players will play at similar levels eventually. Chermiti still 2 years younger.
16 Apr 2026 14:05:53
Also, a lot of folk forgetting that most teams these days start their scouting via computer software. Stats, stats, data, and more stats. Yes, the big man was rank rotten in his first 6 months, but he is clearly now improving every week and has youth on his side. If he keeps on his upwards trajectory, then his value also goes on the same upwards trajectory.
If he keeps scoring goals, winning headers and winning his duels and completing his passes, then Mr Chermiti's computer software data spreadsheet will be popping up on many teams' scouting signing super computers.
16 Apr 2026 14:11:13
Mystar, I'm not sure how that comparison works, mate. Do we tell his suitors that McBurnie went for 20 million? McBurnie scored 25 in Championship that year, Chermiti scored 11 in SPL, so over double in a harder league. Not saying we won't make money on him, just don't understand the logic.
16 Apr 2026 14:27:36
Boy Blue, the point I'm making was he was sold for 20m and Chermiti has far more ability.
16 Apr 2026 14:41:27
I do believe another season, and we'll be talking serious money, but think the current high valuations are more based on what we paid rather than how he's performed. Igamane is a good comparison. If we'd paid similar money for Chermiti, we'd be talking about similar figures again, I think.
16 Apr 2026 15:42:52
After Everton get their share, if we make 3 to 5 million profit on Chermiti with add ons.
The gamble becomes you keep him another season, and he picks up a bad injury and his value drops, although the same could be said of any player.
16 Apr 2026 15:46:27
Yeah, I mean as in the top division in the country, not as in a leading league.
I certainly don't think, given his attributes, stats, and potential, that £30m plus a sell on percentage is out of the range of possibilities for him.
16 Apr 2026 16:10:48
I can't understand why we would be looking to offload him?
I genuinely believe if he kicks on and continues his current form into next season, then we will have a £30M player in our hands this time next year.
Also, don't think Rohl is the type who would be willing to let him go unless he already has better inside the building.
16 Apr 2026 16:23:35
11 goals in the SPL doesn't get you a 20 or 30 million move. Matt O'Riley was a full Danish international who was outstanding for Celtic over 18 months with 25 goals from midfield. Bassey was unbelievable for us in the Europa League run and got noticed for that. Chermiti is neither a full international nor done anything in Europe, and some claim he's worth 20-30 million? Really?? I'm not saying we sell ourselves short, but to get our money back or a small profit on someone who's proven nothing so far would be good.
No one will tell me, with 10 million burning a hole in our pocket, we can't find a better striker than Chermiti, and there are scouts everywhere. If a British or European club thought Chermiti was worth 9 million, they would've been all over it but they weren't. Teddyblue was spot on, how many games has he looked worth that? We are now reduced to comparing our strikers to Oli McBurnie and his massively inflated transfer price.
16 Apr 2026 16:32:02
Our league not rated. Chermiti will bring us profit as he's only 21. We will make even more on the sell on. He will make us money.
16 Apr 2026 16:36:46
Certain things come at a significant premium. Strikers with huge potential who have the correct attributes are one of those things.
We paid the going rate for someone at that level who hadn't scored senior goals and had much first team exposure. Now he has, so that going rate goes up exponentially.
16 Apr 2026 17:29:44
Ally, if u and others can read, I said he would move to a top league, and if he scored 10 plus in Germany, England, Spain, there would be big interest.
16 Apr 2026 17:30:16
SWS, no real offers or interest from anyone in regards to Chermiti in January.
16 Apr 2026 17:57:36
I have no idea what he is worth or what u would sell him for, but 11 goals in the SPFL is absolutely nothing. How much is the Motherwell boy worth then? He had 17, and he has potential, still youngish I think and an internationalist.
He isn't an out and out striker either.
What McBurnie went for has absolutely nothing to do with what Chermiti will do. The Championship is a far better league also, as sure a few even said that on here in the past when it suited them.
16 Apr 2026 19:33:28
11 goals is nothing (with 5 to play) from a 21yr old?
But Dessers with 13 was a must keep???
???
Also the lad has the best goals to minute ratio in the league!
Worth keeping, I think, and if he plays consistently next season, will score more than 20 league goals - giving us a better chance of retaining the title. ?
16 Apr 2026 20:04:36
Championship is a far better league, McBurnie was getting used as he's not nearly got Chermiti's ability as a footballer, and McBurnie is a better player than most give him credit for.
16 Apr 2026 20:38:59
Zikos Dessers had 20+ goals in 1st season also. Where do I say I want rid of Chermiti? If you can find that on this post then you win a lollipop. ?♂️ Maybe read the post before posting.
I don't know why am replying to you, star, but here we go.
I agree, Chermiti could be a much better player than McBurnie, barring injury, etc.
It doesn't mean he will go for more than what Oli did that season, as someone previously said he had a lot of goals in the Championship.
I don't know how much Chermiti will go for.
16 Apr 2026 20:41:13
Lastly, 24 goals Oli got in the Championship; Chermiti has got 11 in the SPFL, and as you say, the Championship is a better league. ? So make it make sense. ?♂️
Am sure he has scored 12 this season in that league also.
