Roma's Nainggolan Close To N22bn China Move - Report

Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan is reportedly close to joining Fabio Cannavaro's Guangzhou Evergrande for €50m (N22bn).

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, talks between Nainggolan, Cannavaro and the Roma boss have already taken place.

From that, Guangzhou would have already negotiated a €50m (N22bn) deal, structured as a loan with a compulsory purchase option before June 30.

The newspaper adds the Belgian will earn €12m (N5bn)-a-year with the Chinese champions if he makes the move, while the transfer would address the Giallorossi's "budget problems".
