Cagliari slap €18 million price tag on Nainggolan

Cagliari have revealed it will take a huge offer to sign star midfielder Radja Nainggolan this summer.

The Belgian midfielder is heavily tipped to join one of Italy’s top clubs after yet another impressive season at Stadio Sant’Elia.

Juventus have long ago opened negotiations to sign the highly rated player, but they have yet to reach an agreement with Cagliari over the transfer fee.

The club from Sardinia have now informed interested sides that it will take at least €18 million to sign the 24-year-old.

“I’ve promised him that I would let him go if a big club came in for him with a bid,” Cagliari president Massimo Cellino told Unione Sarda.

“However, the offer has to be a big one – an offer that is not any smaller than €18m.”

Nainggolan arrived to Piacenza as a 17-year-old from Germinal Berchot in 2005, but soon established himself as a first team regular despite his fragile age.

The Belgian joined Cagliari on loan in January 2010, before Rossoblu exercised the option to sign him on permanent basis at the end of the season.

Nainggolan was almost an ever present for Cagliari last season, having started 37 Serie A games, while missing one match through suspension.
