PSV Identify Rangers Forward Youssef Chermiti as Leading Summer Target
A move would give Rangers a sizable profit but depends on a reported asking price near £25 million being met.
Overview
- Reports from mid‑June say PSV have settled on Chermiti as their primary striker target but have not yet made a formal or accelerated bid.
- Rangers are understood to want roughly £25m for the 22‑year‑old, a price the club says would justify sanctioning a sale.
- Porto and Galatasaray have been linked with interest alongside PSV, while Besiktas reportedly listed him but coach Vincenzo Italiano is not keen on a big‑money signing.
- Rangers rejected a £13m offer from Fenerbahce in January and Chermiti’s late‑season form — 15 goals including a hat‑trick vs Hearts and a brace vs Celtic — has driven renewed market interest.
- If Rangers sell for the reported fee they would more than treble the £8m they paid Everton last summer, a transfer decision that could reshape the club’s summer recruiting and squad plans.
