Big earning-player likely to be next to leave Rangers – Football Whispers
By Richard Parks
Defender Bruno Alves is most likely to be the next player to leave Rangers, according to Football Whispers.
The football site claim that the 94-times Portugal international is expected to be next out of the Ibrox exit door following a blizzard of transfer activity in January.
Alves, 36, has not played for Rangers since the Old Firm draw on 30 December, when he lasted just 18 minutes before suffering a knee injury.
He was strongly linked with an exit last month, when it was widely reported, including by the Daily Record and Sky Sports journalist Gianluca Di Marzio on his personal website, that one of the club’s biggest earners was in talks to join struggling Serie A club Benevento.
The deal fell through but it is still possible that Alves could leave Rangers in the coming weeks as the likes of the Chinese transfer window are still open.
Football Whispers, which gathers all transfer rumours across the globe and calculates the likelihood of them happening, rates it 2.3 out of five that Alves will leace Rangers, with five the highest possible ranking and meaning it is a certainty.
He is rated the most likely player to transfer from Ibrox, ahead of loanee defender Russell Martin, who is rated 2.2, and January midfield signing Greg Docherty, who is rated 1.6.
Alves made a strong early impression at Rangers but has subsequently been in and out the side and, in between his 17 outings across all competitions, he has struggled with injuries.
In other Rangers transfer news, it can be revealed that a key first teamer has sensationally asked to leave after the board failed to stick to their promise of giving him a new deal during the transfer window.
