English defender James Tavernier, a long-time star for Scottish club Rangers, is reportedly close to joining Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv. The transfer, reported by Fabrizio Romano, comes as Tavernier becomes a free agent after 11 years with Rangers.
While Tavernier's salary at Maccabi Tel Aviv is not yet confirmed, it is expected to be significantly lower than his previous earnings. His last four-year contract with Rangers was worth approximately £1.6 million per season, with total earnings including bonuses reaching £8.1 million.
In the seasons leading up to his final contract, Tavernier earned varying amounts, starting below £500,000 per season in his earlier years with the club. In the year before his new contract in 2022, he earned £1.25 million, and in the two years prior to that, he made around £730,000 annually.
