Agent claims Rangers ‘rejected’ chance to sign £20m ace linked with big transfer

Lewis Ferguson’s agent, who represents Bologna as captain, has acknowledged that the former Aberdeen

star was rejected by Rangers when he was just a youngster.

Lewis Ferguson is starting to resemble one of those famous “one that got away” stories, with rumours of

a £20 million move to some of Serie A’s biggest clubs.

Rangers showed an interest during the summer of 2021 – 12 months before he moved to Italy – and also

‘rejected’ the chance to sign the 10-time Scotland international long before he was a first-team regular at

Pittodrie.

Now, with interest from elsewhere in Serie A and a host of Premier League clubs, everything points to a

mega-money move somewhere down the line.

Rangers could have signed Lewis Ferguson

“Ferguson was rejected at 14 by Rangers,” Bil McMurdo, the 24-year-old’s agent, tells CalcioNapoli24.

“(He) came to me to tell me that this had not affected him at all and, in the future, he would play in Serie

A. Already at 14, he had a dream of playing for Italy.”

Now the captain of a Bologna side chasing Champions League qualification under Thiago Motta,

Ferguson is certainly now living that ‘dream’. Like many members of Motta’s squad – including the

Manchester United-linked centre-forward Joshua Zirkzee – Ferguson is also catching the eye of the

biggest clubs in the country, with the Rossoblu potentially a victims of their own recent success.
