What Rangers want to sell Youssef Chermiti as "great move" now on cards
Youssef Chermiti could be on his way out of Rangers amid interest from Besiktas.
The Portugal Under-21 international signed from Everton for £8million plus add-ons last summer and experienced a mixed season.
The 22-year-old striker did establish himself as a big-game player after consistently scoring against Celtic and Hearts.
Besiktas now have Chermiti on their radar, but the Ibrox hierarchy have set a flat rate for him.
There has been plenty of speculation around the centre-forward's future in recent months and it will be interesting to see how his situation develops under Derek McInnes.
The Glaswegian outfit may have to brace for offers in the coming weeks, with the former Everton player wanted by Super Lig clubs.
Truth behind Youssef Chermiti interest from Turkey as Rangers set price tag
Chermiti is in-demand at Ibrox, with some of his performances from the 2025-26 campaign leading to an increase in his value.
In Turkey, Besiktas and Galatasaray have been credited with an interest, and it wouldn't be surprising to see the former sign him.
According to ToSports journalist Osman Altunterim on X, Besiktas are the team with the "clearest interest" in the striker in Turkey.
Suggestions that Galatasaray have had the centre-forward on their radar for a long time have been dismissed.
As for the Glaswegian outfit, they want a flat fee of around £25.6m to sanction Chermiti's departure.
The Govan side have no intention of accepting any loan deal for the Portuguese youngster.
To finish off, Altunterim wrote: "If Beşiktaş agrees tomorrow, I wouldn't be surprised at all - I'd say it's a great move."
Why Derek McInnes can green light Youssef Chermiti sale
McInnes started with Lawrence Shankaland and Ryan Naderi as his two forward options in the opening game of the season against Dundee United.
While it was just one game, many were surprised to see Chermiti being benched.
The former Hearts striker has been named captain so it wouldn't be surprising to see him be the 55-year-old head coach's first choice number nine.
With the Scottish manager looking to add wingers to his ranks, he may have plans to settle to a 4-2-3-1 formation.
McInnes has plenty of options for the number nine position, with Bojan Miovski also at the club, and it's completely realistic for someone like Chermiti to leave to maintain balance in the squad.
