Fiorentina step up for Nainggolan

By Football Italia staff

Fiorentina have surged ahead of Cagliari with an offer for Inter outcast Radja Nainggolan, claim multiple reports.

The Belgium international has been frozen out of the squad by Coach Antonio Conte, who does not consider him part of their plans for this season.

Nainggolan had been heavily linked with a return to Cagliari, particularly as he wants to stay in Italy.

Now Sky Sport Italia and Sportitalia claim Fiorentina have approached the ex-Roma midfielder to be part of their project under new President Rocco Commisso.

The Viola are suddenly very active on the market, securing Kevin-Prince Boateng and Pol Lirola from Sassuolo for a combined cost of €13m plus bonuses.

They hope to take Nainggolan on loan with option to buy, something Inter could well accept, seeing as they only just purchased him last summer.
