Naples, Ferguson market goal

A year later, nothing has changed. At least as far as Napoli’s interest is concerned for Lewis Ferguson, captain of Bologna. He was one of the men who ended up in the blue viewfinder at the beginning of 2024, in the first days of the refondation project. Lewis enchanted with Bologna: a very young leader who knew how to combine very well quality and quantity. A point of reference for Thiago Motta on the pitch and for all his companions in the locker room. A matter of personality, as well as talented. Napoli had moved in great advance, but every speech was then postponed to the end of the season. And then the silence, inevitable. In April Ferguson breaks the cruciate ligament and is forced to the long stop. With Bologna in the Champions League and Napoli during the refoundation phase, it would not have made sense to re -establish a dialogue in the summer.

again in pressing

–

Ferguson was stopped 201 days, but now the one has returned before, perhaps even stronger at the mental level. And in the last three games the undisputed ownership has resumed, always playing 90 ‘, with the band on the arm. Lewis is now a son of Bologna, one of the symbols of the climb of recent years. This year he put together 20 appearances between Serie A (13), Italian Cup (2) and Champions League (5), finding only one goal. Now he is a candidate for a protagonist season finale, with Bologna again on the Champions mission and he returned to the top of the shopping list of many top clubs. Including Napoli, which next summer will have to finish the work that began by Manna and Conte in June 2024: at least 7-8 reinforcements for the double commitment will be needed. And a rose with 22 owners. Also for this reason the interest in Ferguson has returned to topical, even more so after inserting two other stars of the Scottish national team in the squad. Lewis in Naples would find his friends McTominay and Gilmour, precious pieces of the present and the future blue. It will be up to the company to try to convince Bologna to let him leave. An important investment will be needed, that is sure. But Ferguson’s characteristics are perfect for the type of player that Napoli is looking for the median to come.

situation

In short, on Monday evening at Dall’Ara there will be a special observations. True, the game is very delicate and for the blues it will also represent an important crossroads (or if you prefer an obstacle) in the Scudetto sprint. But beyond what will be, Manna and the blue scouting however will continue to work on headlights off on the team for the next season. And this is the right period to start moving, also to avoid rods. With Bologna in winter there were Ndoye, while new contacts are also planned for Sam Beukema, another goal for the defense. The name of Ferguson, on the other hand, would return hot especially in the case of farewell in the summer of Anguissa. For the Cameroonian, Napoli exercised the option of the biennial renewal, even if the idea was to aim for a new agreement, longer and more onerous. Frank, however, took time, wants to evaluate the offers that will arrive and has made it known that he wants to try a new experience abroad. In short, nothing decided, but one of his assignments is a hypothesis to keep on the table. And then Ferguson, the Scottish handyman who combines quality and quantity, with a good predisposition for the goal and the assists: Lewis now knows Italian football, he is young but already mature. And in the summer it could warn the desire to try a new adventure, perhaps to try to fight for the Scudetto. Ferguson is a perfect profile for Napoli to come. And together with MCTominay and Gilmour he would form a small Scottish colony on the Gulf, where a surge of tourists in Kilt has already recorded this year. Another premier racing, all fury and quality. As Conte likes.
