Rangers provide an update on James Tavernier as a “big” Saudi bid is received, per sources.
The Rangers are hesitant to let James Tavernier leave Ibrox this summer, but they might be persuaded to do so by a “big” offer.
In light of their strong ties to Saudi Arabian teams, senior journalist Pete O’Rourke of Football Insider stated on the most recent episode of the Inside Track podcast that the team may profit this summer from its captain.
According to sources, Steven Gerrard is eager to collaborate with the 32-year-old at Al-Ettifaq, having worked with him before at Ibrox.
But given his position in the Rangers lineup and his on-field impact, any offer would have to be too excellent to reject.
James Tavernier exit update emerges for Rangers at Ibrox
Rangers could accept a £10 million bid to acquire Tavernier, according to former Gers defender Alan Hutton, as the team looks to the future.
Given his attacking prowess, Dujon Sterling is the right-back’s logical replacement, therefore any shift in position would be like-for-like.
After Tavernier’s recent 58 games in which he scored 24 goals and provided 12 assists, the Rangers are hesitant to overlook his achievements.
The right-back won an SPFL championship, a Scottish League Cup, and a Scottish Cup after joining the team at Ibrox in 2015. He has been a constant in the starting lineup.
After joining the Rangers, he has scored 125 goals and given 129 assists, making him the highest-scoring British defence in history.
However, many supporters at Ibrox also feel that the club should move in a new direction and have called for their captain to be sold amid the interest from Saudi Arabia.
In other news, Rangers plan to accept a £5million offer for Tom Lawrence.
