Cagliari will only be able to sign Radja Nainggolan on loan again and will need a helping hand from Inter to allow them to do so according to a report from Italian news outlet FCInterNews.it.

The 31-year-old Belgian midfielder is currently on loan at the Sardinian club and reports have suggested that they would like to keep a hold of him but a permanent move seems impossible due to the finances involved.

Inter value Nainggolan at €18 million and his annual €4.6 million wages are simply too much for Cagliari to pay therefore in order to loan him again they would need Inter to agree to pay possibly as much as half of his wages.

Nainggolan wishes to continue playing his football in Serie A and the report goes on to state that Inter could possibly do a swap deal with city rivals AC Milan involving him, although it would appear to be dependent on AC Milan’s current management team remaining as is for this to happen.
