Radja Nainggolan is “a universal midfielder wanted by many clubs,” confirmed Roma director Walter Sabatini, but he’s cagey on Chelsea links.
Sabatini spoke to Mediaset Premium and was asked if it was true that Antonio Conte wants Nainggolan at Stamford Bridge.
“I don’t know, I’ve never spoken to Conte. Nainggolan is a universal midfielder, so strong in every area of the game that he is wanted by many clubs.

“I don’t know, I’ve never spoken to Conte. Nainggolan is a universal midfielder, so strong in every area of the game that he is wanted by many clubs.
“He is playing a new role under Luciano Spalletti, which could be only transitory, but he’s often played in a more advanced role.”
Miralem Pjanic is another Giallorossi midfielder attracting interest from top clubs around Europe.
“When we bought him, we hired a private plane to bring him to Rome for a medical. We didn’t even have the agreement with his agent yet.
“I am particularly proud of Miralem, as he is a top level player who can resolve situations. People think of him as a Prince of football, but if you look at the statistics he runs as much as a defensive midfielder.
“He is now 26 years old and has Roma on his shoulders. He’s reaching full maturity as a player.”
