In wake of his double against Inter last night, Sky journalist Angelo Mangiante revealed that Inter tried to sign Radja Nainggolan last summer. Inter offered Roma 40 million + bonuses for his services and when they were knocked back, Inter then moved on and signed Joao Mario for 45 million.

Also in the summer when Thohir arrived,we contacted him,had some kind of pre agreement and his personal availability to come to us..but he moved from Cagliari to Roma cause Thohir was not fully established yet.. .
…and then..we got Hernanes instead..FOR MORE MONEY ( or similar money at least) than Naingollan’s move to Roma..
God ,please,help me
not sure, some months ago I read Radja really like Italy and has been living there for several years… right now Rome is playing consistently good they are even a serious candidate for EL and CL next year.. well not that many players will give up those opportunities, in fact he is like following DeRossi steps, btw he rejected Chelsea as well-
Just sign him again next summer. He’s undoubtedly the best midfielder in Italy at the moment.
perfect CM, probably the best in the world-
that would be Luka Modric in my opinion. He is pure joy to watch.
no one believed in him enough back then I even hated him when he played for calgiari and thought he was average at best
he is a beast, even in cagliari. still raw yes, but that engine tho.
he improved his shooting and speed and got stronger physically as well
They should have tried hard enough when he was playing for Bologna!
Before Roma he was playing for Cagliari.
Or Cagliari lol they have similar jerseys
