Bayern Munich have completed the signing of Todd Cantwell on a deal worth £80m – Medical scheduled to hold on 2nd July

James Tavernier has notified Rangers that he wishes to leave in the wake of a £10 million deal to Saudi Arabia.

The Rangers captain is a strong contender for Player of the Season once more,

with Jack Butland and John Lundstram the other two leading candidates.

Has recently spoken about this and other hobbies, acknowledging for the first time that,

While he appreciates his time at Rangers, they make the final decision on his future there.

There are solid indications that Steven Gerrard wishes to sign Tavernier for £7 million.

Which Rangers would be difficult to pass up as a 32-year-old defender.

That being said, Tavernier’s stats this season are absurd.

31 goals and assists in 47 games is an incredible performance for any player on the field.

Let alone a right back, and if in any season the captain has demonstrated his worth, it’s this one

And this only adds to the suspicions regarding his future,

as Saudi groups are said to be appraising him based on what he can provide.

Tav couldn’t entirely reject the subject.

“[Finishing my career at Ibrox] is obviously dependant on Rangers.

There are numerous interchangeable components.

However, my family and I are enjoying watching football here. I still feel young at heart.

I still feel 21, but I plan to keep pushing forward and working hard.

The first two lines are the first hint of Tavernier stating there is a possibility that he would depart.

To be fair, if Rangers receive a large offer for a player his age, it is unthinkable that the club would turn it down.

We’ve already discussed the club’s unwillingness to pay a premium sum for John Lundstram.

who is likewise past his prime and has low resale value.

However, Tav being given a high salary in Saudi Arabia would be tough for either him or the team to refuse.

Those moving parts are certainly an issue.
