Rangers may take up Tavernier’s enormous offer because “money talks.”
Tavernier is thought to still view the Rangers as his top priority, although any offer from the Middle East is probably going to be very lucrative.

Former Rangers manager Steven Gerrard oversees Al-Ettifaq, who have been connected to the full-back, while former Rangers director of football Mark Allen works for the team.
Thus far in the 2023–24 season, Tavernier has made 47 appearances in all competitions, tallying 21 goals and 10 assists.
