Italia report that Roma's sporting director Walter Sabatini is in London for
talks with Chelsea about the possible sale of Radja Nainggolan to the Blues.
Chelsea have not commented on the report but incoming manager Antonio Conte
is believed to be a huge fan of the Belgian midfielder.
Formerly with Cagliari, the 27-year-old Nainggolan joined Roma, initially on
loan, in 2014, and has been a key performer for the side from the Italian
capital this season.
Capped 18 times by Belgium, Nainggolan is under contract until 2020 and
Chelsea would have to part with a sizeable transfer fee to secure his
services.
Conte will take charge at Chelsea when his duties with the Italy national
side end after the Euro 2016 tournament.
And he has also reportedly expressed an interest in signing another Roma
player, Greek international defender Kostas Manolas.
