While speaking at a press conference, Galatasaray President, Mustafa Cengiz spoke about Yuto Nagatomo’s current situation at Galatasaray. He stated that the player is happy in Turkey and that the club has benefited from his loan spell so far, in which they have increased the clubs outreach to the people of Nagatomo’s home country, Japan.

“He is happy here, he is a really great person. He came to us, he did not think about the idea of returning to Italy. Since he has been here, Istanbul has become a popular destination for Japanese people, even their Minister of Economy, when he came here, began to ask about him. We received thanks from the Japanese Embassy, but what we say about him could be said again by the Italians tomorrow.

“Regarding his redemption clause, we have not yet had a meeting with Inter. In normal circumstances, they could also ask for the money they would ask for Maradona instead of stopping at the already established figures, and I hope we can close everything with mutual satisfaction.”
