Ex-Celtic Star Questions Rangers’ Price Tag on Tavernier
Former Celtic player Frank McAvennie has openly criticized Rangers’ valuation of their right-back James Tavernier, suggesting that the club’s financial expectations are far from the reality of the market. McAvennie’s comments come in response to reports that Rangers are aiming to secure a substantial transfer fee for Tavernier.
Rangers’ Financial Struggles Lead to Transfer Speculations
In the wake of financial difficulties, Rangers are reportedly under pressure to sell players, with Tavernier and recently-departed Connor Goldson at the forefront of transfer speculations. The club’s desire to raise funds for potential new signings has led to a valuation that McAvennie deems excessively optimistic.
Former Manager Eyes Tavernier for Besiktas
Gio van Bronckhorst, the former Rangers boss, is said to be interested in bringing Tavernier to his current team, Besiktas. Despite Rangers’ hopes to cash in on the 32-year-old defender, doubts have been cast on the likelihood of such a profitable sale.
Insider Claims Tavernier Valuation Far Lower Than Expected
McAvennie claims to have insider information that Tavernier’s market value is significantly lower than Rangers’ £10 million asking price. Citing the player’s contract situation and the club’s financial predicament, he argues that Rangers are unlikely to achieve their desired transfer sum.
Unfavorable Negotiating Position for Rangers
The knowledge of Rangers’ urgent need for funds is not lost on potential buyers, which McAvennie points out as a weak negotiating position for the club. With the transfer window looming, the former Celtic star remains skeptical about Rangers’ ability to command high fees for Tavernier and Goldson.
