Scotland midfielder Lewis Ferguson could be set for a huge move to Juventus amid reports that he is being monitored by the Italian giants.

The 24-year-old has been a star performer from Bologna since making the move to Serie A from Aberdeen 18 months ago, scoring 10 goals in 46 appearances and even captaining the side on occasions.

Bologna sit eighth in the league and are targeting a push towards the European places, with Ferguson’s contribution catching the attention of the country’s biggest clubs.

Italian outlet Gazette dello Sport reports that Ferguson is being closely watched by Juventus with an approach possible, while AC Milan have also been recently linked with the former Hamilton youngster.

Ferguson is said to be valued around €20m and Aberdeen will be keeping a keen eye on developments due to the sizeable sell-on clause inserted into the deal when they sold him last summer for a reported fee of around £3m.

Bolgona have developed a knack for picking up young Scottish talent and selling them on for big profit, having sold Scotland team-mate Aaron Hickey to Brentford last summer for £14m, potentially rising to £18m with add-ons, earning Hearts a significant sell-on fee.

Ferguson has become a mainstay in the Scotland squad but has yet to win a regular starting place in Steve Clarke’s midfield, making just three substitute appearances during the Euro 2024 qualifying campaign with his only start this year coming in the 4-1 friendly defeat to France in Lille.
