BOMBSHELL! LYON CHASE CHERMITI WITH LOWBALL BID AS BRAGA ALSO TARGETED IN SHOCK RAID!

BOMBSHELL! LYON CHASE CHERMITI WITH LOWBALL BID AS BRAGA ALSO TARGETED IN SHOCK RAID! First video of friday and today the Youssef Chermiti saga has taken another dramatic turn as a third European giant now enters the race for our Portuguese number nine. Derek McInnes and the Ibrox boardroom are being tested like never before, and the price tag drama has just gone up another level. According to French outlet Foot Mercato, and confirmed by the Daily Record and Ibrox News, Olympique Lyonnais have officially joined the chase for Youssef Chermiti this summer. The Ligue One giants are desperate for a new centre forward after losing Brazilian sensation Endrick back to Real Madrid, and their search has landed directly at the doors of Rangers Football Club. We break down exactly what Lyon are prepared to pay, why their reported bid falls a staggering eight million pounds short of the Ibrox valuation, and what this really means for the future of our top scorer. We also dig into the incredible sub-plot in this story. Foot Mercato are reporting that Lyon are simultaneously looking at Claudio Braga at Hearts as an alternative or possibly even part of an astonishing double raid on the Scottish Premiership. We break down what this means for Rangers, why the French might be playing us off against Tynecastle on price, and what a firm boardroom stance could achieve here. Then we make the case for keeping Chermiti at Ibrox. We revisit the moments that made supporters believe in him, from the bicycle kick against Seltic to the ferocious volley at Falkirk, the hat-trick against Hearts in front of the man who is now our manager, and the brace at home against Seltic. Former Scotland striker Andy Walker has already stated that Chermiti has the character to thrive on the biggest occasions, and with Derek McInnes now in charge and Lawrence Shankland alongside him in a four four two formation, we make the argument that this could be the season Youssef Chermiti explodes.
