I think Inter must keep him and loaning him to Cagliari was a huge mistake. He has some problems and bad reputation outside the field, but on field he still better than most of our midfielders. So despite his negativities, he has much to offer and he can add depth and quality.

It's exactly that reputation and those problems that our management do not want. Naingollan can fuck off. He had his chance and took it for granted. Inter should not be any player's second or third choice.

Eh, of the three fuckwits off on loan Radja is definitely the one I'd bring back. No one can afford his wages and we won't be able to make our money back.

If he gets Borja minutes then it'd be alright.

I agree to a large extent. If we can get rid of Nainggolan in a plusvalenza neutral way (sale or swap), I am all for it. But I rather have him available for the squad than send him away on another free loan - thats just pointless.

Inter cannot sell Radja Nainggolan for anything less than €19.5 million this Summer to avoid making a capital loss. The 31-year-old’s €4.5 million annual salary makes a permanent move to Cagliari unlikely and he could therefore return to Inter this summer and be moved on elsewhere.

TuttoMercatoWeb & TuttoShit: Inter could throw Radja Nainggolan into a deal for Fiorentina’s Federico Chiesa. The report from the Turin based newspaper goes on to state that it is difficult to foresee Dalbert being included in any deal.

Fiorentina president and owner Rocco Commisso values Chiesa at no less than €70 million and offered him a €4.5 million annual salary.
EDIT: Commisso came out to publicly deny that a new contract has been offered to Chiesa.

Nainggolan + Dalbert + 30m? Thats a bit steep, but considering we also get rid of two players, it may make sense. But Chiesa will have to want to play RWB, and I just cannot see that happening. Chiesa will join Juve (or even Milan) as RW.

I think we need Radja and we should bring him back.

They were speculating 30-40m + Radja, not Dalbert. Meanwhile, Commisso came out to publicly deny that a new contract has been offered to Chiesa.

Radja Nainggolan has told some trusted friends that he is ready to return to Inter and hopeful of getting another go at things at the club according to a report from Italian news outlet FCInterNews.it.

The Belgian midfielder is currently out on loan at fellow Serie A side Cagliari and it is highly unlikely that they will sign him up on a permanent basis given his salary is out of reach for them.Inter manager Antonio Conte respects Nainggolan and really wanted him in the past and should no interesting offers arrive Conte could well give Nainggolan a second chance at the Nerazzurri.

Zenit St. Petersburg, Newcastle United and Everton are all seemingly interested in signing him but for personal reasons the newly turned 32-year-old wishes to stay in Italy. The report also refuses to rule out the possibility of Nainggolan re-uniting with former manager Luciano Spalletti if Spalletti is to find himself a new managerial gig soon.

Keeping Nainggolan would almost certainly mean we will do a midfield acquisition only if we can sell Gagliardini/Vecino. Maybe even both needs to be sold if we want a new midfielder in addition to Radja.

Frankly, as much as I like Radja, I don`t think the goal is to keep him. Idea seems to be to trade him on as part of a deal, if no direct cash offers arrive.

€4.5 million annual salary does not justify 60 minutes of playing time, plus you don`t know how he would perform as a sub/rotational player. I think Marotta is trying to cut our losses.

I think Conte actually has in mind how to use 9n. And we've seen that Inter definitely needs enough quality midfielders. Don't mind to Ninja's comeback.

I've always liked him as a player but I'm not sure how much he can really offer us. I dont know if he can play the box to box role to the same effect anymore as he will only be going down physically. He'll also be 33 by end of next season.

Pretty sure he can't do it in Conte's hound football. Radja doesn't have the legs nor the lungs anymore for that.

Even with Nainggolan, Vecino and Gagliardini staying we would still need to get a Brozovic backup as Valero will certainly be gone. I think Nainggolan and Vecino/Gagliardini sales would affect getting a second midfielder.

Yes, somehow I managed to exclude the notion of that type of player from my previous post. :D That in addition to that (hopefully Tonali) we won't get a new midfielder if Vecino and Gags both are not gone. So it's Tonali and Radja in, Valero and Vecino/Gags out.

So let's hope we can dump also Radja somewhere.

If we can get rid of Gags, Vecino, Nainggolan and Valero (not to forget Perisic & Mario), and get SMS/Vidal + Tonali, that would be a dream.

SMS/Vidal, Brozovic, Eriksen, Barella, Sensi, Tonali. Best midfield in Italy.

:yao:

If we do ANYTHING in this mercato, the priority has to be to get two top quality wingbacks. I don't care about their age, do cheaper options like Meunier (free) and Alonso, but they have to be provide immediate quality in the wings! Without that, Conte can't win shit at Inter.

We are going into 20/21 season with Candreva, aren't we.
