Radja Nainggolan looks forward to facing Italy with Belgium on Friday, but admits he could “stay at Roma forever.”
With Francesco Totti, Daniele De Rossi and Alessandro Florenzi injured, he was the Giallorossi captain in Sunday’s 2-0 win over Lazio.
“The victory was a wonderful moment and wearing the captain’s armband will remain in my memory for all time. Is my future still with Roma? I could stay here forever, albeit not as captain.”

The former Cagliari midfielder is expected to start in the international friendly in Brussels.
“It is a special game, because I am taking on the country where I met my wife and am living today,” he told dhnet.be.
“The Azzurri don’t have the same big star names as in the past, but remain a side of a very high level. Tactically they are very strong and it will be difficult for us to attack them.
“I will try to do my best, as always, even if Florenzi wrote to me and said he hopes I don’t play. We’ll play to win.”
Stefano Okaka earned an Italy recall after finding form since his move to Belgian club Anderlecht.
“I know Okaka well, he is a beast on the pitch, but above all a good player and a nice guy. We clashed many times in Serie A and B.
“It’s always more difficult to score in Italy than in the Belgian League.”
