With the Belgian set to be reunited with his "brother" in Turin on Saturday, he may be wondering if his loyalty will go unrewarded
COMMENT
When it first emerged in the middle of May that Juventus were seriously considering activating Miralem Pjanic's buy-out clause, Roma team-mate Radja Nainggolan joked, "I already said that he can’t talk to me anymore!" The Belgian wasn't smiling, though, when he learned during the European Championship in France less than a month later that his fellow midfielder was on his way to Turin.
"I love him, I accept his choice and I’ll continue to love him,” Nainggolan told reporters after his country's loss to Italy in Lyon.
