Big Moves Ahead for Tavernier
James Tavernier, the dynamic Rangers right-back, may be on his way out as the club is set to consider “big” offers this summer. Al-Ettifaq, a Saudi Arabian club, has shown a strong interest in acquiring the services of the 32-year-old defender, who has had an impressive run at Ibrox.
Alan Hutton Weighs In on Potential Transfer
Former Rangers defender Alan Hutton has given his take on the situation, suggesting that the club might be ready to pass the torch to Dujon Sterling as the new first-choice right-back. With Tavernier’s recent dip in form and Rangers missing out on the league title and Scottish Cup to Celtic, the winds of change appear to be blowing through Ibrox.
A Reunion with Gerrard?
The connection between Tavernier and Al-Ettifaq is further strengthened by the presence of Steven Gerrard, the club’s manager, who is reportedly eager to work with his former captain once again. This potential move could see Tavernier leave the club he’s been with for nine years.
Goldson Also on the Radar
Connor Goldson, another Rangers stalwart, is rumored to be joining Gerrard in Saudi Arabia. Hutton speculates that a combined deal for Tavernian and Goldson could be on the table, with a figure around £10 million being enough to seal the deal.
Rangers Open to Offers
Philippe Clement’s side is said to be receptive to substantial offers that come their way this summer as they aim to refresh and rejuvenate the squad for future challenges. Hutton, speaking to Football Insider, emphasized that a decent proposal would certainly grab Rangers’ attention, though the exact figures are still up for discussion.
Quality and Interest Undeniable
With the quality of both Tavernier and Goldson being undeniable, the upcoming transfer window promises to be an intriguing period for Rangers as they assess their options and look to the future.
