Chelsea superstar admits he’d love compatriot to seal to seal £35m switch
Roma midfielder Nainggolan is the subject of a £23m bid from Chesea but the Belgium worldwide is yet to make up his mind on whether to make the switch.
Nainggolan is one of incoming first team head coach Antonio Conte’s top targets to strengthen the squad at Stamford Bridge, and sources told ESPN FC in April that Chelsea are growing increasingly confident in their ability to complete a deal for the 28-year-old this summer.
Eden Hazard and Rajda Nainggolan are now playing for Belgium in the Euro 2016 and thus are in the same team going against Italy in Group E opener Monday evening.
The former Juventus boss’s delayed arrival to the English capital has not, however, prevented speculation linking a string of players with moves to west London – but former Chelsea defender Leboeuf believes restoring Hazard to the Belgian’s formerly swaggering best holds the key to any potential Blues’ resurgence.
Chelsea star Eden Hazard insists that he “never” wanted Jose Mourinho to lose his job as manager. Now he’s trying to convince me to go to Chelsea and we’ve had a chat about it. He’s an interesting person. It’s not easy to leave Italy behind after 12 years.
“I just can’t wait for tomorrow to come around so I can begin this tournament”, Hazard said on Sunday. I’ve been suffering from small injuries, which caused me poor physical fitness.
