According to sources who spoke to Football Insider, Rangers and Bologna will find it difficult to reach a swap deal agreement for Nicolas Raskin and Lewis Ferguson. Agreeing on such a complex deal is considered to be difficult, and Rangers' pursuit of the midfielder is expected to be a point of difficulty. Sources say Ferguson is likely to be expensive, and his performances for Scotland in the 2026 World Cup have helped enhance his reputation. Consequently, interest in his services is expected to increase, which could negatively affect any Rangers transfer plans. Bologna’s appointment of Domenico Tedesco as their new manager is an additional complication, as it is unknown how Ferguson fits into his plans for the 2026-27 campaign. The midfielder has two years remaining on his contract at Bologna and played 27 games in Serie A last season.
