Bill McMurdo, the representative of Bologna midfielder Lewis Ferguson, elucidated on the attention garnered from prominent Italian clubs such as Juventus, Inter, and Milan, emphasizing his client’s unwavering clarity amidst the speculation.
The 24-year-old Scottish player has significantly distinguished himself as one of the Serie A’s most promising midfield talents over the preceding 18 months, notably contributing to his team’s exceptional performance this season under the management of Thiago Motta. His contributions have been instrumental in propelling Bologna to fourth place in the league standings, with 10 matches remaining in the season.
Ferguson, whose contractual commitment to Bologna extends until June 2027, has been in remarkable form this season, tallying six goals and five assists in 29 appearances across various competitions. His notable performances have captured the interest of elite Italian clubs, hinting at a compelling summer transfer market.
In an interview with TV Play via TuttoBologna, McMurdo elaborated on the inquiries surrounding his client and outlined potential future developments.
“I want to point out that my client could’ve signed for any team in Serie A on a free transfer, but he chose Bologna after having various conversations with Sartori and Di Vaio, and the choice turned out to be a winning one considering the extraordinary season they’re having.
“There are many rumours that link Lewis to teams of the caliber of Napoli, Inter, Milan and Juventus, but he has always been clear with Bologna – if one of these teams ever contact him, the Bologna management will have to evaluate the offer.”
McMurdo subsequently offered commentary regarding the influence exerted by Thiago Motta on Ferguson and his professional evolution.
“He is an extraordinary coach and if he were to go to Juventus, considering the respect he has for Lewis, he would want to have him, and it would be difficult for my client to refuse such an offer.”
