Premier League sides quoted a high price for Radja Nainggolan.
Premier League sides including Arsenal and Liverpool have been told that it will take a huge fee of £26 million to sign AS Roma’s Belgian international midfielder Radja Nainggolan, report the Express, with the fact that half of the player’s registration is still owned by Cagliari complicating any potential deal.

Nainggolan has been a huge success for Roma since he joined on loan from Cagliari last season, with Rudi Garcia’s side paying £7 million to secure half of his ownership in the summer, with the other 50% still held by the Sardinian club who recently appointed Gianfranco Zola as manager in a bid to stave off relegation to Serie B.
Both parties are likely to demand around £13m for their share of Nainggolan, making an overall fee of £26m, a huge investment for a player who is unproven outside of Italy despite his reputation as one of the toughest midfield customers in Serie A.
