Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan has explained exactly why he elected to remain at the Italian club rather than make a move to join his long-term admirer Antonio Conte at Chelsea, according to the Sports Bible.
He has been one of the best midfielders around Europe for a number of years now but has up to this point always remained keen on staying at his current club Roma.
The 29-year-old had heavy links with the Blues throughout the summer but the move failed to happen as Conte didn’t get the chance to get the target of players which he wanted to at that stage.
The midfielder has played a vital role for Roma so far this season featuring in 28 games which has included scoring two goals and will play a key role in helping them turn round their Champions League tie.
He spoke about his transfer situation from the summer:
I could have gone to Chelsea and many other clubs, but starting something knew when you are 28, 29, 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.
He went onto talk about the culture in Rome and what he most likes about it:
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.
