According to a report by La Gazzetta dello Sport via TMW, Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli and head of the first team, Giovanni Manna, have listed Bologna’s Lewis Ferguson in their summer signings plan. The Scottish international has registered 5 goals and 5 assists across all competitions this season with the Rossoblu and his performances have been attracting the interest of several clubs from around Europe.
Bologna manager Thiago Motta is steering his club through a strong campaign with the 24-year-old as an influential member of the squad. The player’s value is set to rise and the Bianconeri will hope to be on the front foot when the transfer battle for him begins this summer.
The Old Lady are valuing Ferguson at a price of around €25-30 million and the future of midfielder Adrien Rabiot will play a crucial part in transfer proceedings. While Ferguson is originally represented by Billy McMurdo, Juventus have already been in contact with the intermediaries that are handling the midfielder’s situation in Italy to know about the possibility of a move.
Apart from Lewis Ferguson, Juventus are also probing Atalanta’s Teun Koopmeiners as they may sell the likes of Federico Chiesa and Matias Soule.
