AS Roma sporting director spotted at Stamford Bridge amid Nainggolan to Chelsea talks
However, as Il Corriere dello Sport points out, Sabatini could have also met Chelsea’s representatives as the Blues’ next manager Antonio Conte has made Radja Nainggolan and Miralem Pjanic the club’s priority targets for next season.
The Capitoline’s president James Pallotta denied yesterday the duo will leave the Olimpico next summer, though Conte is known to be a long-time admirer of both players, with a preference for the Belgium International.
The current senior Italy national team coach, is on very good terms with Sabatini and believes his experience and knowledge could be crucial qualities to boost Chelsea’s rebirth after a terrible campaign. That’s why the Italian paper reports Sabatini could have used his trip to Chelsea’s headquarters to talk about future job opportunities
