Radja Nainggolan is getting closer to completing a return to Cagliari according to a report from Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia journalist and transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio.

According to what Di Marzio stated moments ago live on air during his show CalcioMercato L’Originale, rather than return on loan, this time Nainggolan will move outright, as Inter want.

The two clubs met today for talks and Di Marzio claims that Nainggolan could return to Cagliari on a permanent basis in a deal worth around €12 million.

Two young Cagliari players will also move to Inter as part of the deal. Riccardo Ladinetti is almost certain to be one of them and Inter will chose one between Roberto Biancu, Federico Marigosu and Luca Galliano.

Nainggolan still has just under two years left to run on his contract with Inter earning €9 million gross per season and is expected to sign a three year contract with Cagliari.
