    EXCLUSIVE Chelsea interested in Roma star Nainggolan

    Radja Nainggolan is still one of Europe’s hottest midfield commodities. Despite only having a good-not-great season, the Belgian international is key to Luciano Spalletti’s project, and is considered to be untouchable at Roma.

     

    Now, Calciomercato can reveal that Chelsea are still very interested in the former Cagliari man, and that they’re likely to make an offer for him. Former manager Jose Mourinho was a big admirer of the 27-year-old when he was still sitting on the bench, but things don’t seem to have changed that much since his departure. They’ve watched Radja on a number of occasions, but would need to come up with a sum in the region of 30/35 million.

    It is here that the Blues’ choice of manager could well be key: were they to opt with Antonio Conte over Max Allegri, for example, expect Nainggolan to be at the heart of a long transfer saga. The former Juventus manager went to bat for the Belgian just before leaving the club in 2015. Will he do so again if Chelsea line him up on the diamond?
