Lewis Ferguson, currently playing for Bologna and having been made captain, is linked with a move to Inter Milan due to his impressive performances in Serie A. Bologna values him at €30 million (£25m), and there is a 20% sell-on clause in his contract that would benefit Aberdeen with £4 million if the transfer happens. AC Milan's sporting director Zlatan Ibrahimovic is reportedly a big fan of Ferguson.

Inter Milan is reportedly preparing to intensify their efforts to acquire Bologna captain Lewis Ferguson in the upcoming summer transfer window. Sources indicate that Inter officials met with Bologna representatives during a recent match to discuss the potential transfer of Ferguson to Milan. It is understood that Inter head coach Simone Inzaghi is an avid admirer of Ferguson and is eager to strengthen his midfield options by signing him. Although Bologna recently renewed Ferguson's contract, extending it until 2028, Inter Milan aims to persuade him by offering a significant increase to his current reported salary of approximately €1 million annually. The transfer fee is speculated to be as high as €30 million. Additionally, Aberdeen holds a 15% sell-on clause from the agreement that facilitated Ferguson's move to Bologna.
