'I'd be a liar if I said money didn't interest me' - Nainggolan explains China rejection

The Roma midfielder has interested Chelsea and the Chinese Super League in recent months, but he maintains he is still happy at Roma

Radja Nainggolan says he would be a "liar" if he claimed he was not interested in money, after rejecting advances from both China and Chelsea over the past two years.

The Roma midfielder joined the club in 2014 from Cagliari, but has been courted by the CSL and Antonio Conte's side in the past couple of seasons.

While the 29-year-old admits that he is, of course, interested in the idea of perhaps doubling or tripling his current pay packet, he maintains that he is more interested in maintaining his current lifestyle in Italy.
