Radja Nainggolan has signed a new four-year contract at Roma.

The Belgium international, who is now committed to the Serie A club until the summer of 2021, had previously attracted interest from Chelsea and Manchester United.

Nainggolan joined Roma from Cagliari in January 2014 and has since scored 27 goals in 161 appearances for the club.

"I think I have demonstrated that this is what I always wanted," Nainggolan, 29, told the club's website.

"So I'm very happy, especially that the club and I can continue our adventure and move forward together."

Roma president James Pallotta added: "We're delighted Radja has committed his long-term future - and the most important years of his career - to the club.

"Last season, he was arguably one of the best midfielders in the world and it's no surprise that he was linked with some of the biggest clubs in Europe.
