'Very lucrative' contract on table for Rangers star to quit - report

Rangers could be parting ways with their captain James Tavernier with the defender having a “very lucrative” offer on the table to leave, according to The 4th Official.

However, the 32-year-old has still not made his mind up about the move and it remains to be seen whether a potential deal can be agreed.

If Tavernier chooses to leave the Gers, he will be calling time on a nine-year illustrious career at Ibrox.

The interest from Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq is definitely there and it’s up to Tavernier to decide whether he wants to proceed with the transfer.

Tavernier faces a difficult decision about the lucrative offer

Tavernier faces a tough decision about whether to move to Saudi Arabia, and he is most likely considering many factors.

Firstly, the defender has a deep connection with Rangers and this cannot be overlooked. As captain, he’s become somewhat of a symbol of the club’s recent success, and the thought of leaving that legacy behind must be difficult for him.

On top of that, the prospect of uprooting his life and family to a new country with a vastly different culture and climate is another issue that he must carefully think about.

Financially, the move to Al-Ettifaq offers a lucrative contract that could secure his and his family’s future. However, Tavernier must weigh this against the competitive level of the Saudi Pro League compared to the Scottish Premiership and European competitions.

The quality of football, training facilities, and overall professional environment will differ, potentially impacting his performance and satisfaction on the pitch.

Furthermore, there’s the matter of his career’s twilight years. Moving to Saudi Arabia could mean fewer eyes on his performances, affecting his legacy and future opportunities in football, such as coaching or punditry.

Balancing professional aspirations, financial security, personal comfort, and family well-being will be key in making this crucial decision.
