It looks like we’re going to have a real transfer soap opera in the Challenger Pro League. The center of that soap is Radja Nainggolan, who proved to be a key player for Lokeren last year. He could leave there now.

Nainggolan sets his sights on Patro
The Waaslanders were not happy that the interest ended up in the press and accused Patro of trying to force a transfer. However, this is denied by Stijn Stijnen. But it does not alter the fact that the soap has now been fully launched.
After all, Nainggolan himself is now also involved. The 37-year-old enjoys according The Latest News also interest from Thailand and Indonesia, but indicated to the newspaper that he has his sights set on Patro.
Sporty and financially more interesting
“There is concrete interest from Patro and that is more interesting both in the longer term and financially,” he explains. “I am still a Lokeren player and have maximum respect for the club and for the chairman, but Patro’s offer is very interesting. I, at this moment in the autumn of my career, find it a very interesting challenge and hope that the best happens for myself and for the clubs.”
It is therefore clear that Nainggolan will not simply accept a ban from Lokeren. The last word in this saga will undoubtedly not have been said yet…
