Nainggolan Opens Up On Why He Refused Chelsea

Roma ace and Chelsea target, Radja Nainggolan has revealed why he has always rejected the chance to leave Italy for England.

The Belgium international midfielder has developed into a top midfielder in his position, attracting interest from far.

However, Nainggolan has always rejected the club, staying at Roma despite a decrease in game time

Nainggolan has, however, continued to ignore the speculation surrounding his future as he has no desire to take on a new challenge outside of Serie A.

He told Sport Voetbal Magazine: “I could have gone to Chelsea and many other clubs, but starting something new when you are 28 or 29 years old, in a new culture, another lifestyle… that’s not for me.

“I prefer to stay where I feel good. If money were my only motivation, I would have changed clubs many times and my salary would have grown, but my first priority is to live well.

“You need to live well and be happy playing where you are and I have both of those things here. Everything is perfect; my family is happy in Rome.

“There are lots of good restaurants and it’s a good place to go shopping. When friends or family come to visit, you can send them almost anywhere.

 

“I’m liked at the club and the supporters are behind me. I’ve given a lot on the field and I get a lot of respect for that. As a footballer, that’s one of the best things you can get. I grew up in Antwerp, but I became a man in Italy.

“As things stand, I can see myself living in Rome in later life.”
