Nainggolan claims Chelsea are keen to sign him from Serie A side Roma, and
says both clubs have had contact.
The midfielder told Belgian magazine HLN Nina that new Blues boss Antonio
Conte wants to secure his services, and not for the first time.
The 28-year-old said: "There has been contact between Roma and Chelsea. But
I will not get involved so long as there is no agreement between the clubs.
"Chelsea are keen to strengthen their squad and Conte is a manager who
wanted to sign me before. Chelsea are a big club.
"But the transfer is not a done deal and it would not be easy to leave Italy
after 11 years."
It has also been reported that Chelsea may have to pay in excess of £30m to
secure the signature of Nainggolan who could be offered a six-figure weekly
salary and a five-year deal.
Conte will be taking over at Stamford Bridge following Euro 2016 where he
will coach the Italian national team.
