• 07 giu 2016

Two years ago he wasn’t selected for the World Cup in Brazil, now he’s one of the first names on the teamsheet of Belgium Head Coach Marc Wilmots. Radja Nainggolan is one of the leaders of his country and on June 13, he will face another man who would like to make him the first name on his teamsheet next season, new Chelsea boss Antonio Conte.

 The 28-year-old has been talking to La Gazzetta dello Sport about Chelsea’s interest in him. He explained that; “I have always been clear about my future I am happy at Roma and I love the city. On the other hand, an offer by Chelsea is important, you cannot avoid considering. I am glad, but what can I say? I have stated my desire; we will now see what the club’s next move is".
