The Blues have temporarily suspended their efforts to sign Radja Nainggolan from Roma in favor of Zenit’s Axel Witsel.
Axel Witsel is on the radar of many Italian clubs, and now Chelsea’s as well. According to Sky Sport, Chelsea were unsuccessful in putting an agreement in place to sign Radja Nainggolan. However, the more plausible alternative, Witsel from Zenit, is now on Conte’s wishlist as well.
Napoli, Inter and Roma had all been on the hunt for the want-away Belgian from Russia. In recent weeks they, and many other clubs had requested information, IFD understands.
Nainggolan was unwilling to leave Italy after 9 years, but Witsel has already announced he does not plan to return to Russia.
At this time, it seems that the other Belgian player is the more likely candidate to sign with Chelsea this summer.
Roma do not want to continue to sell their key players, and have for the moment repelled Chelsea’s advances.
