Youssef Chermiti: Rangers striker linked with summer move to Porto

Rangers forward Youssef Chermiti is being linked with a move to FC Porto, with the Portuguese club monitoring the 21-year-old ahead of a potential summer transfer.

The Portugal‑ and Tunisia‑eligible centre-forward, valued at €9.00m on Transfermarkt, is rumoured to be on Porto’s radar as they assess attacking options for the new Liga Portugal campaign. The move is currently rated with an unspecified probability (“?”) in transfer listings, underlining that talks remain at a speculative stage rather than an advanced negotiation.

Chermiti, who wears the number 9 shirt at Ibrox, has emerged as one of Rangers’ young attacking prospects. Standing at 1.92m and operating primarily as a central striker, the right-footed forward offers a physical presence that would appeal in both the Scottish Premiership and Portuguese top flight. His current deal at Rangers has no publicly listed expiry date, leaving open the possibility that he could either command a fee in line with his market valuation or, depending on contract developments, edge towards a free-agent scenario if no extension is agreed in the medium term.

Born on 24 May 2004 in Santa Maria, Açores, Chermiti’s dual heritage is seen as an additional asset, with both Portuguese and Tunisian pathways open at international level. He is currently registered with Rangers FC at club level, having been listed in attack for the Scottish Premiership side.

Recent data does not specify individual match statistics, opponents or scorelines for Chermiti’s latest appearances, but his profile and valuation reflect a player considered to have significant development potential rather than a finished product.

If Porto firm up their interest, a switch back to Portugal could represent a pivotal step in Chermiti’s career trajectory, offering a platform in European competition and the chance to enhance his reputation on a bigger stage.
