Chelsea target denies speaking to clubs

Reported Chelsea target, Radja Nainggolan has denied that he has spoken to clubs about the possibility of a summer move.

The midfielder took to Twitter to deny the rumours, he has previously been linked with moves to Juventus and Stamford Bridge, ahead of Antonio Conte’s summer arrival.

The Belgian international has been one of the more frequently mentioned names when it comes to summer targets, after impressing for Roma in recent seasons.

Juventus are also thought to be keen on the Belgian, but only if they sell Paul Pogba this summer. They see Nainggolan as an ideal replacement for the young Frenchman.

The midfielder tweeted this:

Which translates to:

If I’ve not spoken to any club yet, why would I have spoken about it to my friends? Forza Roma and Forza Belgium tonight!

Like most players, you cannot read too much into this, you can only expect them to defend their current club as they’re under contract there, leaving to the midfielder’s future no clearer.

Nainggolan is a key part of Belgium’s national side, he has made 18 appearances so far in his international career.
