During the winter break of the 2013/14 season, he moved to AS Roma .

After five seasons in the service of the Roma , Nainggolan signed a contract with Inter Milan on June 26, 2018 until June 30, 2022 . After just one season in the service of I Nerazzurri , Tommaso Giulini, the president of his former club Cagliari Calcio, officially announced that he was returning to the Sardinian football club on loan for the 2019/2020 season.
