At the beginning of the 2019/20 season, Radja Nainggolan made the decision to switch from Inter to his ex-club Cagliari due to family reasons. It was considered as a huge mistake and the football fans around the world were wondering if his career on the top level is over, since he joined the 15th in the Serie A table?
