Rangers plan for Lewis Ferguson transfer in 2028, says Alex Rae

Summary

Former Rangers midfielder Alex Rae suggested the club should delay pursuing Lewis Ferguson until 2028. The Scottish international currently plays for Bologna, which values him between £15 million and £20 million. Rae noted that Ferguson’s contract expires in 2028, possibly allowing Rangers to acquire him without a transfer fee. Ferguson has established himself in Italy, helping Bologna qualify for the Champions League and winning the Coppa Italia in 2025. Despite his connection to Rangers, previous discussions for a transfer did not materialize, and Rae emphasizes the need for Rangers to seek immediate midfield reinforcements.
