With his time at Inter seemingly over, it appears Radja Nainggolan is keen to return to former club Cagliari this summer.
The midfielder only joined the Nerazzurri from Roma last summer, but he has been told by the club and new coach Antonio Conte that he does not feature in their plans moving forward.
As a result Inter have been hard at work trying to facilitate an exit, with a move to China tipped as the likeliest scenario, but Sky Sport Italia notes that may not be the case.
Reports suggest Nainggolan is keen to return to Cagliari, where he played from 2010 to 2014.
The move would allow the midfielder and his wife, who is from Sardinia, to return home while she undergoes treatment for her recently diagnosed cancer.
Any move would have to be a loan, but one obstacle hindering the switch is Nainggolan’s wages, as he currently earns €4.5 million a season.
Cagliari are only willing to cover €1.5m plus bonuses, a fee that Inter are not willing to entertain as they want any side that signs the Belgian to pay his wages in full.
