Chelsea and Roma have been in talks over the summer transfer of Radja Nainggolan, confirms the Belgian international.

Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan has confirmed that Chelsea want to bring him to England this summer.

The Belgian international has been strongly linked with a move to Stamford Bridge over the last couple of months, but recently claimed that he was not interested in departing his current club.

The 28-year-old's stance seems to have softened, however, after revealing that Roma and Chelsea have been in talks over the potential transfer of the central midfielder.

"There has been contact between Roma and Chelsea. But I will not get involved so long as there is no agreement between the clubs," Nainggolan told HLN Nina.

"Chelsea are keen to strengthen their squad and [Antonio] Conte is a manager who wanted to sign me before. But the transfer is not a done deal and it would not be easy to leave Italy after 11 years."

Nainggolan is currently with the Belgium squad preparing for Euro 2016.
