Portugal-Tunisia centre-forward Youssef Chermiti of Rangers is being linked with a summer move to Portuguese giants Porto, with speculation mounting over the 22-year-old’s future in Glasgow.
The Porto interest has emerged with Chermiti’s situation at Ibrox described as uncertain, and with no public indication of a fixed contract expiry date. That has prompted talk he could be allowed to move on, or even edge towards free-agent status if Rangers fail to secure his long-term stay.
Transfermarkt currently values Chermiti at €15.00m, a figure that underlines why Porto, chasing domestic and European success, are monitoring the striker, who stands 1.92m tall and plays primarily as a central forward with his right foot.
Born on 24 May 2004 in Santa Maria in the Azores, Chermiti holds both Portuguese and Tunisian nationality. He wears the number nine shirt for Rangers and operates in an out‑and‑out attacking role, having been classified as “Attack – Centre-Forward” in recent data.
The rumour, logged on 14 June 2026 with a reported probability marked only as “?”, underlines that negotiations are at an early and speculative stage. No agreement between the clubs has been reported and no fee has been made public beyond his assessed market value.
Recent statistics list Chermiti as a senior Rangers player in the Scottish Premiership, though full appearance and goal tallies for the current campaign, as well as specific match-by-match contributions such as opponents, dates and scorelines, are not detailed in the available data.
Chermiti’s previous career steps, including his development in Portugal before moving to Scotland, have helped build a profile of a tall, penalty-box striker whose attributes could suit Liga Portugal. A switch to Porto would return him to his birth country and offer regular European competition.
If the move does materialise, it could prove pivotal in shaping Chermiti’s next phase – either as a leading number nine for Porto or as a valuable asset whose reputation and potential are tested at a higher continental level.
