Portugal-Tunisia centre-forward Youssef Chermiti of Rangers is being linked with a summer move to Turkish champions Galatasaray, according to transfer speculation in Türkiye and Scotland.
The 22-year-old, who was born in Santa Maria in the Azores and stands at 1.92m, is listed with a market value of €15.00m, a figure being used as a reference point in early discussions around any potential deal. His contractual situation at Ibrox is unclear, with no publicly confirmed expiry date, prompting suggestions that Rangers could face a key decision over whether to cash in or risk the possibility of Chermiti running down his terms and leaving as a free agent in the future.
Reports on Transfermarkt place the rumour’s likelihood at “?”, underlining that talks – if any – remain at an exploratory stage and that no agreement between the clubs has been reached.
Chermiti, who wears the No 9 shirt for Rangers and operates primarily as a central striker with a right-footed profile, has been part of the squad in the Scottish Premiership and European competition. In his latest outing, he featured against Celtic on 12 May 2026 in the Premiership, a high-intensity Old Firm derby in which Rangers were beaten 2-1. Chermiti led the line, offering a physical presence but was unable to find the net in a tightly contested encounter that has fuelled debate over the club’s attacking options ahead of next season.
Eligible for both Portugal and Tunisia, and recorded with dual nationality on Transfermarkt, Chermiti’s profile fits Galatasaray’s recent strategy of targeting young, resaleable forwards with European experience for the Süper Lig and continental campaigns.
With the probability rating still undefined and Rangers yet to signal a stance, the situation remains open – but a switch to Istanbul would mark a significant step in Chermiti’s career and could prove decisive in shaping his reputation on the European stage if the transfer does materialise.
