Royal Antwerp midfielder Radja Nainggolan has recalled turning down offers from Chelsea and Juventus during his career.
Nainggolan left Cagliari for Antwerp last summer.
He told OCW Sport: “I don't give a damn about money. If I had thought about money I would have had a very different career. After Cagliari I could have gone to Juve, who also wanted me when I was at Roma, but not only that, I could have also gone to Chelsea, but I preferred to be myself in a city where I have always felt well accepted both as a player and as a man.
“With Roma we reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and I was convinced to stay, but when Monchi arrived they didn't want to keep me.
"Roma had given the mandate to certain agents to represent the club in the negotiations, and they also took out my agent. At that point I decided where to go and I chose Inter to follow Spalletti."
