Radja Nainggolan has confirmed Chelsea have made contact with Roma ahead of a possible move in the summer transfer
window.
The 28-year-old midfielder has scored 13 goals in 107 appearances for Roma since making his debut for the Serie A outfit in 2014 but is now being heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.
And, following speculation linking the £32million-valued Nainggolan with the Blues, he admitted discussions have taken place but added that he would find it difficult leaving the Stadio Olimpico.
‘They want to strengthen and moreover you have a coach like Antonio Conte who has always wanted to sign me,’ he told Belgian magazine Nina.
‘There has been contact between the two clubs, but as long as there is no agreement reached, I’ll stay well out of it. Chelsea are a great team and it’s good to be appreciated by them.
‘I am very happy at Roma. They appreciate what I do for the club, everyone likes me as a player and a person, so that is very important to me.
‘I lead a good life here and there is a nice balance between my football and my family life. It would be a very difficult choice to leave Italy after 11 years.’
