Milano-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport and multiple other sources report that Inter’s Ninja has already begun his search for a home in Milano. In short, there are no more doubts that Radja Nainggolan will be an Inter player and it will be official soon, as both parties wish to finish the deal before the 30th of June, as has been predicted.
Yesterday was vital, after another meeting with the Belgian’s agent in Milan to finalise the contract and Roma had their offer for Pastore accepted, meaning Radja is now free to join the Nerazzurri. Negotiations started with an asking price of €35-40 million but Inter only wanted to offer €20-22 million plus a player. The deal has moved forward because Roma refused to take Santon but were happy to steal some talent from Inter’s famous Primavera.
There are two, maybe three players on their way to Rome: Zaniolo, for sure, Pinamonti wont, whilst there are requests for other midfielders such as Emmers, Pompetti and Rada who are all in contention. The will of the clubs is to conclude the deal as soon as possible, so once the boys have been chosen to go to Roma, the deal will be closed at an estimated evaluation of around €35 million.
A year after his renewal, here he is at Inter, with a increased contract up from the €4.5 million net he currently earns at Roma, plus the option to extend for another season. It was the poor relationship between the Belgian midfielder and Monchi that has allowed this move to happen.
In January, Monchi was preparing to ship him off to China but now he has found a new home in Milano, with Inter and his old friend Spalletti.
