Inter Milan have officially completed the signing of Roma & Belgium versatile midfielder Radja Nainggolan on a four-year deal through to June, 2022.
"Radja Nainggolan is officially a new Inter player," a statement on the Nerazzurri's website reads.
"The Belgian has signed a contract with the Nerazzurri that runs until 30 June 2022.
"Now, having fully matured as a player, it’s time for the Ninja to approach a new and exciting challenge in an Inter shirt. Welcome to the city of Milan, Radja!"
"The club would like to place on record its gratitude to Nainggolan, and wishes him well for the future."
As is confirmed by multiple reports, Inter will pay €24m in cash and sacrifice Davide Santon and Primavera starlet Nicolo Zaniolo.
Nicknamed Il Ninja, Nainggolan spent most of his professional career in Italy, representing Piacenza, Cagliari and Roma and making over 250 Serie A appearances.
A Belgium international for eight years, Nainggolan played 30 times for his country (scoring six goals) and represented it at Euro 2016. However, the 30-year-old versatile midfielder announced his retirement from international duty after World Cup snub.

How he's not with Belgium in the world cup, it's beyond me and now Roma have sold him, it's beyond my imagination...At least Inter will be in the CL next season, so that was a key for him, perhaps...

this is wickedness, I remember how Chelsea were doing all they could to sign him for £40 million but Roma refused now they sold him on a cheap to a direct rival, same case with Bonucci when Chelsea were after him, God will punish those clubs! Nonsense

Midfield depth is looking very decent for Inter, might be up there with the best in Europe now (in terms of depth). Brozovic, Radja, Vecino, Gagliardini, Valero, not bad.
