Bruno Alves 'having medical at Parma'

Rangers defender Bruno Alves is reportedly undergoing a medical with Parma as the Portugal international prepares to join the Serie A outfit ahead of the 2018-19 campaign.

Alves joined Rangers from Cagliari last summer, and made 25 appearances in all competitions for the Scottish giants during the 2017-18 season.

The 36-year-old has a contract at Ibrox until next summer, but according to Sky Sport Italia, the experienced centre-back is currently having a medical with Parma.

Alves, who was a part of the Portugal squad that competed at the 2018 World Cup, has represented Zenit St Petersburg, Fenerbahce, Cagliari and Rangers since leaving Porto in 2010.

Parma finished second in Serie B last season to secure a return to the top flight.
