Nainggolan admits Chelsea was never an option

Ahead of tonight’s Champions League fixture between Roma and the Blues, Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan admitted he had no doubts over his future, and never thought about leaving the Serie A side over the summer, Sky Sports report.

Nainggolan, 29, who has made over 150 appearances for Roma in the four seasons he’s been at the club, has been one of Europe’s highest-rated midfielders over the past three years and has regularly been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, especially this summer, however, a deal never materialised.

Speaking to the media before tonight’s game, the Belgian international was asked about the previous transfer window, and the Belgian had no hesitation in answering.

Well I made my choice, I never hesitated or thought for a minute [about leaving], so it doesn’t matter if it’s Chelsea or anyone else.

Three points in Italy for Antonio Conte’s side against Nainggolan’s Roma would see the Blues qualify for the next stage of Europe’s biggest competition, however, a defeat would see the Italian side climb above Chelsea into top spot.
