Nagatomo close to Galatasaray

By Football Italia staff

Yuto Nagatomo looks set to leave Inter, joining Galatasaray on loan with an option to buy.

The Turkish giants have been looking for a left-back, but a move for Juventus’ Kwadwo Asamoah collapsed in the summer.

Now Sky Italia and Premium Sport are both reporting that they are very close to signing Nagatomo, on a €1m loan with a €6-7m option to buy.

The Japanese international has made over 200 appearances for the Nerazzurri across eight seasons, but has only nine Serie A starts so far this season.

His agent, Federico Pastorello, is expected to fly out to Istanbul later today for negotiations, with Nagatomo looking for more playing time ahead of this summer’s World Cup.
