James Tavernier Takes Massive Pay Cut to Join Maccabi Tel Aviv
New Maccabi Tel Aviv signing James Tavernier was officially presented by the club on Monday and immediately started in their impressive 4-1 victory over Hapoel Be'er Sheva. Tavernier is reportedly earning £11,500 per week, totaling €700,000 per season with the Israeli club.
This represents a significant decrease from his previous earnings. According to British reports, Tavernier's salary at his former club, Rangers, was £35,000 per week, amounting to €2.1 million annually. The 34-year-old fullback has therefore accepted a 66% reduction in his salary to make the move to Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Tavernier is considered one of the most impressive signings to arrive in Israel, highlighting the club's ambition and the player's commitment to the new challenge.
