Inter are prepared to cut their losses on Radja Nainggolan and send him to Cagliari for free, a report in the Italian media suggested today.
Corriere dello Sport’s print edition said the clubs were in talks over a permanent deal for the midfielder, who re-joined the Rossoblu on a six-month loan in January.
Inter could either sell Nainggolan to Cagliari for a fee in the region of €5 million, or they could settle for mutually terminating his contract and offloading his €4 million annual salary.
It would be easier to pick the latter option and it seems that could well happen, in a repeat of what happened with Diego Godin last summer.
Nainggolan is no longer part of Inter’s plans under Antonio Conte and is prioritising a permanent return to Cagliari, with whom he has now had three spells during his career.
The 33-year-old has made 21 appearances since rejoining the Sardinians, scoring once and helping them secure their Serie A survival with two games to spare.
