Radja Nainggolan rejects Chelsea link

Belgian international Radja Nainggolan has iterated his desire to remain at AS Roma next season. The 28-year-old had been strongly linked with a summer move to Chelsea.

The Blues were said to be hot on the trail of the combative midfielder after he apparently revealed his desire to make a move to England.

However, Nainggolan has rebuffed the claims by insisting that the story was made up, and he has no thoughts of leaving the Giallorossi in the near future.

"I will stay, I'm not moving from here. I'm happy in Rome, I don't want to leave." he was quoted as saying by Sky Italia.

Nainggolan has racked over 100 appearances for his club since his move from Cagliari in 2014.
