Barcelona Consider Signing Cesena Left-Back Yuto Nagatomo In The Summer

Barcelona are looking at Japan international Yuto Nagatomo, but the move won't happen in January.
Barcelona are the latest in a long line of teams tipped to sign Cesena's Yuto Nagatomo in the summer.

The 24-year-old, who has reportedly converted his loan move into a permanent one with the Seahorses, is being tracked by a number of clubs including Inter, Milan, Barcelona, Juventus, Villarreal, and Tottenham Hotspur.

Sport.es claims that the Azulgrana are now considering whether to invest in the Japan ace for the 2011-12 season.

On Friday the player's agent said any move was subject to approval from Cesena. Roberto Takuda told Calciomercato.it:

"Yuto is happy with Cesena and we have a good relationship with them. We will evaluate offers, but it all depends on Cesena."
