Chelsea target Radja Nainggolan in action
Nainggolan himself revealed yesterday that incoming Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has spoken to him about a transfer.
But he insists he does not want to leave the Italian capital.
"I have met with Antonio Conte and I know he wanted me at Juventus," he told reporters.
"He has told me what kind of player I can be for him and I feel he still wants me.
"However, I am now concentrating on the next few weeks and to see what will happen.
"Thibaut Courtois and Eden Hazard have already asked me to come to Chelsea, but a possible transfer is not in my head."
