It was a great season for Chelsea in the last term of the Premier League, as they went on to be crowned the champions of England for the sixth time in their history. This has given them the opportunity to play with some of the best teams in Europe in the upcoming term, and they are looking for players who can make the team even stronger.
Among a number of players who have been linked with the West London club for the next term, one of the most significant names is that of the Belgian midfielder Radja Nainggolan. Termed as one of the best in the trade, the box to box midfielder is known for his powerful presence on the pitch, and also for his cannonball-like shots that are a real threat for any goalkeeper in the world.
Antonio Conte, the current coach of Chelsea, is well aware of the capabilities of the Belgian star, as he has seen him from quite a close during his time as the coach of Juventus in the Serie A. Nainggolan is also a regular in his national team, and has a good relation with Chelsea’s talismanic attacking midfielder Eden Hazard, which also enables the Italian mastermind to know in detail about the mo-hawked midfielder.
According to latest reports, the Italian club is in doldrums regarding the Financial Fair Play rules and might be compelled to sell their star players in order to meet them. Nainggolan, along with another in form midfielder Mohamed Salah might have to be sold out by Roma, and they are looking for potential suitors to make a bid for them.
Nainggolan hs been linked with a number of big name clubs in Europe, including the likes of Premier League arch rivals Chelsea and Manchester United. The Red Devils are reportedly very much interested in making a bid for the Belgian midfielder to revamp their side for the next season, as they will also be facing some of the best teams in Europe in the next term owing to their qualification in the Champions League as the winners of the Europa League last season.
The 29 year old central midfielder, who is known for his interesting hair styles apart from his football skills, has been valued at £44 million by his current club. The Belgian ace has scored 14 goals this season and also has seven assists to his name, and can be an important addition to the Blues if they make a bid for him in the summer.
