James Tavernier Faces Transfer Interest from Clubs

James Tavernier, the Rangers captain, faces renewed speculation about his future following recent fan discontent and renewed interest from Turkish clubs, particularly Besiktas, managed by his former coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst. Despite the UK transfer window closing on August 30, Turkish clubs can finalize deals until September 13, allowing for potential late transfers, with reports indicating Besiktas has already engaged Tavernier's agents. Meanwhile, Rangers are considering free agent Cyrus Christie as a possible replacement should Tavernier leave. The current valuation for Tavernier is reported at €6.5 million (£5.5 million), amid interest from several clubs in Turkey and Qatar. Interestingly, Tavernier and his wife have recently purchased a flat in Glasgow, suggesting he might remain with Rangers. The situation remains fluid as the Turkish transfer window approaches its deadline.
