With Roma looking to add Atalanta’s Bryan Cristante to their ranks, it is likely that one of Kevin Strootman and Radja Nainggolan will leave the capital club during this summer’s transfer window as per a report from Gazzetta dello Sport.
Roma have doubts over whether Strootman is the right person to fit in manager Eusebio Di Francesco’s system going forward and whether Radja Nainggolan can still offer the performances everyone knows he can deliver on a consistent basis.
Both players have recently comes in to links with Inter who are looking to transform their midfield ahead of competing in next season’s Champions League. Strootman would be an ideal partner for Marcelo Brozovic in the midfield two of Spalletti’s 4-2-3-1 system while Nainggolan would probably be better utilised in a more advanced role on the pitch.
The Milanese newspaper add that Strootman has a €32 million release clause in his contract that expires in 2022 but suggest that the Giallorossi may take a lower fee.
