Nainggolan: ‘Always wanted to stay’

Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan had “already decided to stay” but a renewal will be agreed “soon”.

The Belgian international was heavily linked with Chelsea in the summer, but ultimately remained at Stadio Olimpico and the midfielder is happy with his decision.

“A renewal? I had already decided to stay,” Nainggolan insisted during a sponsorship Press conference.

“I’m happy here and this thing will work itself out. I think we’re both on the same page, we’ll find an agreement soon.”

Coach Luciano Spalletti has described Nainggolan as a leader, and the former Cagliari man is happy with that role.

“I feel like a leader, because if you look at my style of play it speaks to that. You have to see the incidents in matches.”
