# Man Utd offer contract to Chelsea target Nainggolan

Antonio Conte wants to add to is midfield with Nemanja Matic potentially on his way to Manchester United, and Conte is reportedly [interested in bringing Radja Nainggolan to Stamford Bridge](https://readchelsea.com/2017/06/09/chelsea-face-competition-belgian-target-nainggolan/) this summer.

The 29-year-old central midfielder is regarded as one of the best that Serie A has to offer but Roma are reluctant to let him leave the club.

Under contract until 2020, Chelsea are reportedly willing to offer £42m to bring the Belgian midfielder to the club this summer, but they face competitions from Manchester United.

According to Italian newspaper [Il Tempo](https://edicola.iltempo.it/iltempo/books/iltempo/2017/20170624iltempo/#/27/), United have put a contract forward to Nainggolan, with personal terms worth £6.6m-per-season after tax.

Nainggolan [recently spoke out](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/624873/Manchester-United-Transfer-News-Roma-Radja-Nainggolan-Contract-Gossip) about his future:

> When you play football you have to make choices and last season my choice was to stay \[at Roma\].

> We’ll see \[what will happen this summer\]. I’m going to go on vacation and then we will talk about it.

Monaco star Tiemoue Bakayoko is poised to join Chelsea in a £36m deal, but Nainggolan would give the Blues another excellent option in midfield, but it seems as if United are ahead in the race.
