Rangers star agrees “astronomical” offer to leave Ibrox and join Gerrard

According to a new report, a “exceptional” Rangers star has agreed to a “astronomical” deal to leave Ibrox this summer and join former boss Steven Gerrard.

Summer of Change at Rangers

Euro 2024 may be taking center stage in the football world, but Philippe Clement has had an exceptionally good summer transfer window thus far, bringing in a number of new players. Jefte, Connor Barron, Liam Kelly, and Clinton Nsiala have all signed permanent contracts, while Oscar Cortes, who joined Ibrox from Lens in January, will spend another season on loan.

Rangers’ business appears to be far from over, with attacker Hamza Igamane expected to join from Moroccan club AS FAR.The Scottish Premiership giants have also been linked with a move for Tottenham ace Ryan Sessegnon, whose career has dipped after emerging as a hugely exciting teenager, but who could be desperate for a new challenge. He is considered someone who could provide further quality out wide alongside Cortes, too.

This has also been a summer of change when it comes to outgoings at Rangers, with a host of players moving on when their contracts expire, from Ryan Jack to Kemar Roofe. Now, another exit claim has emerged – and one that is likely to worry the supporters.

According to the update, the “package in question is believed to’massively’ increase” the Gers captain’s earnings, and the player himself “has accepted the contract offer”.

This is obviously awful news for Rangers supporters, as Tavernier has been perhaps the most brilliant player at Ibrox for many years, delivering an incredible amount of end product from right back. Granted, the Englishman’s figures are assisted by the fact that he takes penalties, but 125 goals and 129 assists in 460 games are the kind of statistics that any striker would be pleased to have in his career. Clement waxed lyrical about him last season after he recorded the best number of assists by a British defender:
