Rangers accept £1m Ferguson bid
Ferguson, 31, will discuss terms with the Premier League club managed by his former Rangers and Scotland manager Alex McLeish.
It was reported that the bid is worth around £1million, rising to £1.25million with add-ons.
If terms are agreed, Ferguson will return to the top flight in England four-and-half years after a spell at Blackburn Rovers.
And if the midfielder leaves Rangers, he will follow Brahim Hemdani, Christian Dailly and Graeme Smith out the Ibrox door this summer.
Ferguson's Ibrox career brought plenty of success but it was latterly shrouded in controversy.
He was fined and stripped of the Rangers captaincy last season following a breach of discipline while on Scotland duty in April following a World Cup qualifying defeat by Holland in Amsterdam.
The late night drinking incident at a Loch Lomond Hotel also led to an end to his international career.
Ferguson was dropped by Rangers manager Walter Smith but returned for their last three games of the season as they won back the SPL from Old Firm rivals Celtic for the first time in four years.
The former Ibrox youth player was also in the Rangers side that lifted the Homecoming Scottish Cup with a 1-0 win over Falkirk at Hampden.
Despite positive noises coming from Rangers assistant coach Ally McCoist, Ferguson's future has been in doubt all summer and it looks like it will be away from Govan.
Rangers midfielder Pedro Mendes is confident that Ferguson would be a success in his second spell down south.
"He is a very good player and I don't think he would have any problems," the former Portsmouth player said
"Quality players can adapt themselves pretty well and Barry is a quality player so I don't think he would have any problems adapting himself to the Premier League."
Mendes, however, believes Ferguson's departure would be a blow for Rangers, adding: "He is a fantastic player. He is a strong character in the team, there is no doubt about that.
"He has a strong presence in the dressing room and on the pitch and has been captain of Rangers for years and years."
