Inter Milan have signed Radja Nainggolan from Roma, with the Belgian midfielder signing a four-year contract at the Nerazzurri.
The transfer fee is reported to be €38million overall, but with both Davide Santon (€9.5million) and Nicolo Zaniolo (€4.5million) moving the other way as makeweights, that values Nainggolan at a bargain €24million or thereabouts.

Just a few days ago, Nainggolan said his goodbyes to Roma while also letting it be known that his departure was a decision made above his head:
“Leaving was not related to me, it is a decision made by the club that I have respected,” he said, as quoted by Gianluca Di Marzio.
Hardly sounds mutual, but hey ho.
Football, as like life, goes on.
