English footballer James Tavernier, a recent high-profile signing for Maccabi Tel Aviv, has agreed to a significant reduction in his salary to join the Israeli club. Tavernier is reportedly earning £11,500 per week, totaling €700,000 per season with Maccabi Tel Aviv.
This represents a substantial decrease from his previous earnings with Scottish club Rangers, where he reportedly made £35,000 per week, amounting to €2.1 million annually. The 34-year-old defender has effectively accepted a 66% pay cut to make the move to Israel.
Tavernier was officially presented by Maccabi Tel Aviv on Monday and immediately started in their impressive 4-1 victory over Hapoel Be'er Sheva at Turner Stadium. His arrival is considered one of the most striking acquisitions for Israeli football in recent times.
