Everton could be set for another sell-on boost to the club’s finances as interest grows in former forward Youssef Chermiti.

The 22-year-old is attracting interest from around Europe after scoring 15 goals in 41 games for Rangers last season. 

His campaign included a derby double against Celtic, featuring an outstanding overhead kick, and a hat-trick against title challengers Hearts.

Lyon are understood to be preparing an offer of around £17m, though that fee falls short of the Scottish Premiership side’s £25m valuation. Galatasaray, FC Porto and Besiktas have also been linked. A £25m fee would represent a record sale for Rangers, eclipsing the £20m figure that took Calvin Bassey to Ajax in 2022.

Rangers’ demand for a high fee is in part due to Everton’s entitlement to a percentage of their profit.

Everton sold Chermiti to Rangers last summer for an initial £8m and included a ‘significant sell-on’ clause in the deal, according to The Athletic. The Portuguese forward had struggled to make an impact with the Blues, failing to score in 25 first-team appearances.

Should Chermiti leave Ibrox and Everton are paid a sell-on fee, it would be the second sum received this summer. The Toffees are understood to have pocketed between £3.6m and £4.3m from Anthony Gordon’s transfer from Newcastle United to Barcelona.

Hopefully not another one to bite us in the arse.
He was highly regarded at Sporting and started to look like the penny had finally dropped at Rangers, he’s got the build and power not that we saw much of that with injuries and lack of chances.
We’ll probably end up bidding £40mil for him next season 😆

this just means Thelwell knew what he was doing. We should have held onto him.

A fellow Blue who lives in Dumfries tells me that he’s still not quite at the level required of an Everton player, although he has clearly evolved in his time up there. As with everything in this world, I suppose it would depend on the price, but it clearly is a chance that should not be shrugged at.Perhaps Barry could make the reverse trip, as a make-weight, on a season’s-long loan?
