Roma Coach Luciano Spalletti claims Radja Nainggolan “is as good as Paul Pogba – the only difference in cost is down to their age.”
The Belgium international turns 29 in March and is having a remarkable campaign, scoring seven goals and an assist in 28 competitive games.
There were reports in today’s Italian papers that Roma now value Nainggolan at €80m – so how much is he worth?

The Belgium international turns 29 in March and is having a remarkable campaign, scoring seven goals and an assist in 28 competitive games.
There were reports in today’s Italian papers that Roma now value Nainggolan at €80m – so how much is he worth?
“I’d have said the same as Pogba,” replied Spalletti in a Press conference, referring to the €105m plus bonuses move to Manchester United.
“Radja is a complete player, one of those really strong lads. He’s made of different stuff to normal players and we have a few of those different players in our locker room.
“The only real difference between Nainggolan and Pogba is down to age, but for their worth on the field and the contribution they make during a match, I think the comparison holds up.”
Nainggolan has been the subject of numerous offers from the Premier League, including Chelsea and Arsenal.
