Roma deny Chelsea-Nainggolan talks

By Football Italia staff

Roma insist Walter Sabatini was at Chelsea HQ today for talks regarding Mohamed Salah and not Radja Nainggolan.

The director of sport was pictured outside Stamford Bridge speaking to Salah’s agent Ramy Abbas this afternoon.

It prompted speculation he was there to discuss a Chelsea offer for Giallorossi midfielder Nainggolan for €43m.

However, club sources told laroma24.it that was absolutely not linked with Nainggolan, as if anything Chelsea would have to visit the Roma headquarters.

Instead, Sabatini and Abbas were there to talk about Salah’s contract and adjusting some of the details involved in last summer’s deal.

At the same time, Roma are also interested in taking some Chelsea players on loan, having seen them in the UEFA Youth League meetings.
