Lewis Ferguson’s impressive performances at Bologna have caught the attention of Napoli, who are now joining Juventus, Milan, and Inter in the pursuit of the Scottish midfielder. At 24, Ferguson has been a standout player for Rossoblu this season, contributing significantly to their success under the guidance of emerging coach Thiago Motta. With six goals and four assists in 28 Serie A appearances, Ferguson has emerged as a sought-after talent ahead of the summer transfer window.

Juventus, Inter, and Milan have already expressed interest in Ferguson, with clubs from abroad also monitoring his progress. Now, Napoli has entered the fray, seeking a long-term replacement for the departing Piotr Zielinski. The midfielder’s price tag is estimated at around €25m, a figure that Napoli finds manageable.

However, Napoli’s pursuit of Ferguson hinges on their qualification for the Champions League. Club president Aurelio De Laurentiis prioritizes financial stability and is unlikely to make significant investments if the team fails to secure a spot in Europe’s premier club competition.
