After a period of relative calm, Rangers are now seeing activity pick up as Philippe Clement aims to revitalize their transfer dealings.
As he clarified the necessity of selling before buying, frustrations emerged when Sam Lammers demanded too high a fee for Eredivisie clubs and Cyriel Dessers expressed his preference to remain at Ibrox.
Despite expectations of a move to Saudi Arabia, James Tavernier’s potential departure from Rangers after nine years could see him heading elsewhere, with more clubs now vying for his signature.
James Tavernier’s potential departure from Rangers after nine years has garnered significant interest from multiple clubs, indicating he may have numerous options beyond Saudi Arabia.
Speculations about the captain’s future arose during the pre-season tour in the Netherlands, where he was notably absent from training videos and the friendly against Ajax. Philippe Clement addressed these concerns, clarifying that Tavernier’s absence was due to a minor injury rather than any underlying issues:
“James has a small injury. It’s nothing serious, but it’s enough to keep him from training with the squad at the moment. We anticipate his return at the beginning or end of next week, depending on how he progresses. He’s feeling disappointed not to be training with the team because he loves playing football.”
This situation suggests that while Tavernier’s departure from Rangers seems increasingly likely, the decision is influenced by various clubs expressing interest in securing his services.
