Danny Rohl could have his transfer war-chested boosted by a £100m injection of fresh cash.
Manny Fernandez and Nicky Raskin already have £35m price tags after mediocre seasons for the third best team in Scotland.
Now the Daily Record has revealed that it will cost £25m to take Yuossef Cherniti away from Ibrox.
A report from the Turkish media, about as reliable as the Record and their Ibrox fantasies, claims that Fenerbahce have joined the queue of clubs chasing Chermiti.
The Turkish media is like the Record on steroids. Churning out feel good stories for gullible fans to lap up that their club are serious movers and shakers.
Chermiti scored in eight out of 41 appearances last season following his £9m move from Everton. The EPL side were happy to cut their losses after blowing £15m on the striker.
Now his value has almost trebled as the Record feed their declining army of readers feel-good stories about the Close Season Cup Winners.

Discussing Chermiti, in trademark fashion Robbie Copeland of the Record explains:
His form in the back half of the campaign vindicated their decision to knock back a £13m bid from Fenerbahce in January.
But they’ll have to dig deep as it’s claimed Rangers have informed them they want £25m for the 22-year-old.Interest in his services is nothing new with Porto also recently linked.
Speaking back in January after the Fenerbahce bid was rejected, boss Danny Rohl was adamant he wanted to improve the squad rather than weaken it and there’s no sign that intent has changed.
Chermiti did score two doubles against Celtic. It didn’t do him or his club any good. Sebastian Tounekti finished the season with more winners medals.
Chermiti did score twice away to Falkirk in a 6-3 victory ahead of the SPFL split.
ROHL’S MARBELLA MISERY AS THE TITLE SLIPS AWAY
Danny Rohl took his squad to Marbella for some team bonding, what happened in the Spanish resort remains under lock and key.
On their return from sunny Spain James Tavernier told the media that he hadn’t given any thought to his contract expiring. All of his attention was on winning the SPFL Premiership title.
Two days later it was Birthday Card time as Captain Disappointed admitted that he would be leaving at the end of the season. The real story was that he wasn’t being offered another £2m a year contract.
After that Rohl’s side went on a spectacular four match losing run. Surrendering the title that they were favourites for with five matches left to play.
Chermiti barely looked interested. In the final match, a dead rubber at Falkirk he scored a hat-trick.
The gullible had something to hang onto.
And with that the Record can fill their heads with fantasy bids just as they did with Alfredo Morelos.
In the summer of 2023 Morelos and Ryan Kent left as free agents. All that interest, clubs keeping tabs, asking to be kept informed, monitoring events added up to nothing.
Undeterred Chermiti, Fernandez and Raskin are getting the same treatment.
Their club finished third in the SPFL. In the Europa League they were 32nd out of 36 teams with one win to their name.
NO BIG MONEY INTEREST IN IBROX LOSERS
No club is lining up a £30m bid for any of Rohl’s losers.
If a £10m bid comes in for any of the ‘in=demand’ trio Andrew Cavenagh will be all over it.
Raskin has been in Scotland for three and a half years and won less than Alex Gogic.No big money bids are heading his way.
Fernandez and Chermiti were signed last summer, they have been better than Joe Rothwell and Djeidi Gassama and Thelo Aasgaard but that isn’t a very high bar.
The Record and the Ibrox Tribute Act are perfect partners.
Utterly deluded and feeding a fast declining demographic.
This summer will be similar to the 2024 summer window.
The Record blabbed on about the millions rolling in for Sam Lammers, Todd Cantwell, Scott Wright, Connor Goldson and Robbie McCrorie.
When the club accounts were published it listed combined fees of £810,000 for that job lot of failures.
Watch out for history repeating itself.
