Reports in Italy claim Inter Milan fans are poised for showdown with club boss Antonio Conte over his insistence that the Serie A giants should sell Radja Nainggolan.

Inter general manager Beppe Marotta confirmed last weekend that Nainggolan was not in Conte’s plans.

The fans called on the club to retain the midfielder despite Conte’s wish to sell the midfielder.

However, Calciomercato.com reports supporters made their way to the Nerazzurri’s training camp in Lugano to convince the club into keeping the Belgian.

“Ninja, stay at Milan!” they were heard chanting as cited by Football Italia.

The Beneamata splashed out €40m to sign the 31-year-old from Roma last summer, with Nicolo Zaniolo and Davide Santon sacrificed.

He struggled for form and fitness in 2018-19 but still managed seven goals and three assists.

Nainggolan’s wife Claudia Lai also revealed just yesterday that she was battling cancer.
