Radja Nainggolan insists he holds no grudges against former teammate Miralem Pjanic but “really thinks” Roma can beat Juventus on Saturday.

Pjanic controversially left Roma for Serie A rivals Juve in the summer after the Bianconeri activated his €32m release clause, but Nainggolan still “loves” his fellow midfielder, even if he rejected “no lack of offers” himself.

“Against Juventus, we must really try to pull [the win] off to understand where we actually are,” the Belgian told La Repubblica.

“Pjanic? I love him the same, I hear from him almost every day.

“As for me, I decided to stay despite no lack of offers. Here, they love me. I really think we can win this game.”
