, at that point spent keep going

season on loan spell before getting back to Nerazzurri for a half-year on the seats. 

“I want to rediscover the joy of playing football that has been taken away from me during the first part of this season,” said Nainggolan to reporters.

“I like playing football and it’s what I want to do. I just want to be talked about for what I do on the pitch, especially as I read some things that were just absurd.

“Finally I am here, like last summer. Finally here and I hope to say finally here next summer too, but we’ll see. I am someone who seems to be shoved from side to side.”

There is another motive for

Nainggolan

to value coming to

Cagliari

this time, as he'll rejoin with his previous Roma manager Eusebio Di Francesco.

“I already spoke to him and he wanted me here in the summer, but we managed to get it done now. I see the team here as pretty strong and competitive, but perhaps lacking a bit of consistency, which can happen with many new and young players.

“I hope to lend some of my experience to the squad and help get the results Cagliari deserve.”
