Despite only joining just over a month ago, Galatasaray have already made their mind up on Yuto Nagatomo.
According to Turkish media, the Turkish giants will not seek to turn the Japanese international’s stay at the Turk Telekom arena in to a permanent one at the end of the season when his loan move expires.
The 31-year-old full back has made five appearances since completing a January transfer but the Galatasaray management do not seem convinced and have already started looking at players who can succeed him in the summer. Lyon’s Fernando Marcal has been identified as a possible replacement/upgrade on.
With this news, it has been reported that there are a few Premier League clubs thinking about adding Nagatomo to their ranks. Everton, Watford and West Ham are all understood to be interested in his services.
Nagatomo took to social media to talk about the rumours concerning him, tweeting, “The Premier League? It is an honour that there is a team that would like me from there, but it is useless to talk about it, nobody knows the future.”
He will be then he´ll be sold off with Asamoah joining and Dalbert getting more space!
The good news is, Spalletti doesn’t like him -and as it seems he doesn’t like short players, just like Medel- so if Spalletti stays, he will leave, or at least I hope!
When he left he took the team Zen with him… no more Yoga… that must be it! How could Ausilio miss this… #bringyogatomobacktointer

Yuto Nagatomo (Galatasaray)
This Season: Since signing for Turkish giants Galatasaray on the last day of the January transfer window, Yuto Nagatomo has found the game-time that he had been looking for when he asked Inter for a short-term move ahead of this summer’s World Cup in Russia. The Japanese international has started 5 of the 6 games he’s been available for since touching down in Istanbul and his place in Vahid Halilhodzic’s squad appears very secure.
This Week: Nagatomo played the full 90 minutes in Galatasaray’s 5-0 win over Bursaspor at the weekend (a win which keeps Fatih Terim’s side top of the Super Lig table), before being rested in the first leg of their Turkish Cup semi-final away to Akhisarspor (which they won 2-1). Had it not been for a dodgy offside call, though, Yuto would have enjoyed more than just the full 90 minutes on Friday – he’d have scored his first goal of any kind since January 2014!
Our best leftback this season..
better than ambrosio and santon . he plays with full of loyality to his shirt .
Absolutely, at least he has pace and heart and can follow instructions!
Clearly our best left back, really linked up well with perisic. In fact perisic hasn’t been the same since Yuto left!
what’s happened to santon ?!?! injured ?
He made me worry there for few minutes.
I really wish he returned, and retired at Inter.
Our legendaddy!
Yes, he is the mascot and must stay until he retires. Like rano and dumbo.
Lol but for réal, he can’t even make it in the Turkish league..
Well …they do play in CL and are relatively ambitious so no surprise right?
