Erick Thohir does not want to spend more cash on a midfielder until the current squad has been thinned out.
The plan is therefore to offer Japan international full-back Nagatomo in exchange, according to Haber7.
It’s reported Wesley Sneijder has told his Galatasaray directors to go for his ex-Inter teammate Nagatomo, but the Turkish club is unconvinced.
He turns 29 in September and his contract expires in June 2016, so he is transfer-listed.
Other clubs said to be interested in Nagatomo are Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion.
