Despite his heroics against Celtic, Youssef Chermiti has suffered from his overall poor form at Rangers with a reduction in market value, according to well-respected football data site transfermarkt.
Having been signed by Kevin Thelwell in summer 2025 for a fee of around £11M, the Portuguese U21 international has been as big an enigma as they come, showing up in some big matches but being AWOL for the majority.
Value
Indeed, having been signed by Everton for around £11M, the Portuguese’ market value has never actually been at that level, peaking at just €8M when he joined Rangers.
It has now gone down to just €6M, despite the three big matches in which he compounded his form with a boatload of goals, including a stunner.
What does this mean?
Unfortunately, no one is going to invest the £30M on Chermiti that Thelwell claimed. Simply because he only shows up in 3 in 30 matches.
Underperforming
9 goals in 31 at Ibrox is a one in sub-three return. It’s not going to persuade potential future suitors that he’s a £30M striker. Not unless he does it more often than not.
He never scored a single goal in Europe in 8 attempts. And until that Hearts late goal in the 2-1 at Tynecastle he had just 2 goals by late December.
He has had a burst of goals since then, but all bar the St Mirren strike have been in the big matches. 7 goals in 3 matches.
Alone, impressive, but he’s not been doing it otherwise.
That form has stung Chermiti’s market value.
Rejection
Rangers of course rejected a £13M bid for him from Fenerbahce, a chance to make a very quick profit on a player who, at that point, had just that bizarre double at Parkhead to show for his entire Rangers spell.
Fans didn’t exactly fathom that choice from the club.
To this day Chermiti remains a bizarre enigma, capable of brilliance but mostly a very underperforming striker overall.
And the market value reflects that.
Whether Rangers will regret that £13M rejection only time will tell.
