Chelsea have entered talks with Roma over a possible deal to secure the services of Radja Nainggolan, reports The Guardian.
The Blues have long been linked with a move for the Belgium international, with incoming manager Antonio Conte a huge fan of the Roma star.
The Serie A side will look to command top dollar for the 27-year-old, wih Roma hoping to raise €35m for his signature, though Chelsea are looking to bring that down to the €25m mark.
Indeed, Roma sporting director Walter Sabatini was in London on Friday for talks between both clubs as a deal for Nainggolan edges closer.
Conte is also exploring the possibility of bringing Roma defender Kostas Manolas to Stamford Bridge, though the priority at this time remains Nainggolan.
