Portugal‑Tunisia centre-forward Youssef Chermiti is being linked with a move from Rangers to Turkish giants Galatasaray, with the 22-year-old’s future in Glasgow increasingly uncertain.
The Rangers No 9, born in Santa Maria in the Azores and standing at 1.92m, is listed with a market value of €15.00m and is attracting interest from the Istanbul club as they plan their next attacking reshuffle in the Süper Lig. Transfermarkt data records the rumour as originating on 10 June 2026, with the probability of a deal currently marked as “?”, underlining the speculative nature of the talks.
Chermiti’s contract situation at Ibrox is unclear, with no expiry date recorded, fuelling suggestions that Rangers could be forced into a decision this summer rather than risk the powerful right‑footer running his deal down and leaving as a free agent further down the line. There is, however, no indication yet that his contract has expired or that he has already become a free agent.
The Portugal and Tunisia dual national has been leading the line for Rangers in the Scottish Premiership, operating in his main role as an out‑and‑out centre‑forward. In his most recent outing, a tense league meeting with Celtic at Ibrox on 5 May 2026, which finished 1-1, Chermiti worked the channels and acted as a focal point in attack but did not get on the scoresheet. His physical presence and hold‑up play in that Old Firm clash again highlighted the profile that has drawn Galatasaray’s attention.
With his value set at €15.00m and his career still in its early stages at 22, a switch from Rangers to Galatasaray – if it materialises – could prove a defining move, shaping his reputation on a bigger European stage and testing his potential at the sharp end of Turkish and continental competition.
