The Brazilian team and national federation had been criticised for their silence concerning the cases of striker Robinho and full-back Alves, both aged 40.
Italy asked that Robinho be made to serve his sentence in his home country instead.
A Milan court in 2017 found Robinho and five other Brazilians guilty of gang raping a woman in 2013.
Brazil's Superior Court of Justice (STJ) will examine the Italian request to approve the prison sentence that was imposed in 2017 and ratified in 2022.
Former AC Milan and Real Madrid striker Robinho is sentenced to nine years in prison in Italy after he was convicted of gang rape, local media reports say.
