Lewis Ferguson came through in the crunch game versus Atalanta, scoring a late header that helped his team claim all three points. Juventus and Lazio have been keeping tabs, but Bologna are unwilling to discuss him in January.

Both sides will stay keen in the summer, but it’ll be tough to compete with richer clubs if he keeps up the good work, Calciomercato informs. He has recorded 4 goals and 2 assists in 17 appearances so far, displaying impressive versatility.

Lazio made a serious attempt for Ferguson in the summer but didn’t go all the way, while Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli touched base with his agent in recent weeks. It’ll take no less than €20M to acquire the Scot, but his price tag will most likely continue increasing.

The Scot recently voiced his aspiration to play in the Premier League one day. A few clubs are monitoring him. Bologna have the whip hand since his contract runs out only in 2027.

Our Take on Juventus, Lazio, and Ferguson

His talent was already manifest in the last campaign, but the Felsinei probably would have sold him only for an outrageous offer as they already had to overhaul their midfield. He’s perfectly built to play in England, and his team knows where to get the most money from considering their previous deals with Nottingham Forest for Nicolas Dominguez and Brentford for Aaron Hickey. However, if they want to grow, the real goal should be to keep him.
