Inter Milan looking to sign AC Cesena’s Yuto Nagatomo

and Houssine Kharja. Pazzini was bought from UC Sampdoria, while the other two were acquired from CFC Genoa.
Yuto Nagatomo arrived in the peninsula last summer on loan from J. League outfit, FC Tokyo. Despite being new to the rigours of Serie A, Nagatomo hit the ground running. The Cavallucci Marini no. 5 has made the left-back berth his own at Stadio http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dino-c11319 Manuzzi.
Many predicted a bright future for the 24-year-old, but the player has surprised everyone with his tireless running and tremendous crossing ability.
His season got even better as Japan lifted the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asia Cup earlier this week after defeating http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Australia-c746 1–0. Nagatomo was one of the stars of the tournament, and his performances were keenly observed by the Inter Milan scouting
team. The Nerazzurri interest will now be the icing on the cake.
Financial details of the transfer are yet to surface, but reports indicate that the player will be drafted in as a part-exchange deal, which will see http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Davide-Santon-c10658 go in the other direction. Santon made a promising start to his career under former coach,
Jose Mourinho, but his growth has stalled over the last couple of seasons. Mourinho’s replacement, Leonardo gave the youngster some much needed game time, but Santon failed to impress.
Inter Milan are also in negotiations with CFC Genoa over a potential transfer for promising Azzurri international, Domenico Criscito. Criscito is speculated to be the back-up option should the Nagatomo deal fall through. However, Santon’s reluctance in moving
away from the club where he got all his early education is proving to be a hindrance.
The January transfer window closes in a few hours and Inter Milan face a race against time to secure the services of Nagatomo.
