Rangers centre-back Bruno Alves will tell Serie A side Benevento whether he is prepared to join them on Sunday.

The Italian side, who are struggling at the foot of the Serie A standings, have an agreement with Rangers for the experienced central defender.




But Alves has not yet agreed to move to Benevento and, according to Sky Italia, is due to give his answer to the club on Sunday.

Benevento are waiting to discover whether they will be able to count on the Portugal international for the second half of the season as they look to stage what would be a miraculous escape from the drop zone in Serie A.
 


Alves was tempted to quit another Italian side in the shape of Cagliari last summer to make the move to Rangers.

But the departure of Portuguese boss Pedro Caixinha soon led to talk that Alves would also leave.

And with Rangers having signed defender Russell Martin on loan from Norwich City this month, they now have six centre-backs on the books at Ibrox.

Benevento are eight points from safety in the Italian top flight.
