Nainggolan rejects Chelsea

Radja Nainggolan is not keen on linking up with Chelsea during the summer transfer window, sources reveal. The Belgian international has been the subject of speculation in recent weeks with the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea said to be interested in his services.

Italian publication La Repubblica says the Belgian international has snubbed advances from the Blues in a bid to continue his career at the Giallorossi.

This is likely to come as a big blow for the Premier League holders who had placed the combative midfielder as their prime target for the summer.

Chelsea are expected to have a major squad overhaul following a dismal run in the top flight that sees them 10th with 44 points.
