English Championship club Millwall have turned their attention elsewhere after failing in a bid to land Aberdeen star Lewis Ferguson. The Lions looked to sign the Dons talisman this summer but the Daily Mail reports they have dropped out of the running.
A bid of £1.5million had been rejected and The Scotsman understands Millwall came back with improved offers eventually reaching the £2million mark but it didn’t meet Aberdeen’s valuation.
The Dons expect interest from around Europe, especially Italy. Cagliari were keen to sign Ferguson in January but their offer was turned down.
Keen on the midfielder who scored 16 goals in all competitions last season, the Italians sent a delegation to meet with the 22-year-old in March following a win over Hibs.
