Former Roma, Inter and Cagliari midfielder Radja Nainggolan is close to signing for Serie B side SPAL.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Nainggolan is on the verge of returning to Italy. SPAL, who are currently 14th in Italy’s second division, have offered the Belgian a six-month contract with automatic renewal in case of promotion. If the deal goes ahead, it would be a reunion between Nainggolan and SPAL-coach Daniele De Rossi, who know each other from their shared time at Roma.
