Ferguson, 25, is the captain of Bologna and in 2024 he won the Bulgarelli Award for the best midfielder in the country.
He was struck down by injury just a few months before the Euros but recovered this season to become a key player for club and country.
Meanwhile at Napoli, Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour enjoyed a successful season at the heart of Antonio Conte's midfield, helping lead them to the Scudetto.
McTominay in particular enjoyed a renaissance in Italy after his £25.5m move from Manchester United.
He scored 12 goals along the way and was named the Serie A Player of the Year.
And now they could be joined by Ferguson, according to Il Mattino and Gazzetta dello Sport.
Ex-Hamilton and Aberdeen star Ferguson has attracted interest from Juventus in the past, with both AC Milan and Inter Milan understood to have watched him closely too.
But a move to the reigning champions alongside his Scotland pals would represent a simply stunning swoop.
However, the move hinges on whether Napoli sell midfielder Frank Anguissa.
The 29-year-old featured regularly under Conte and signed a contract extension back in March, with his deal now running until 2027.

But that may have been a ploy to simply increase the player's value ahead of a summer sale.
Ferguson led Bologna to the Coppa Italia final this year, in which they beat AC Milan to claim the trophy.
Manchester City legend Kevin De Bruyne has also been linked with a move to the Partenopei but nothing has been confirmed as of yet.
