Japan defender Yuto Nagatomo has been signed through June 2016, Italian Serie A side Inter Milan said Saturday. Financial details of the agreement were not released.

The 26-year-old moved to Italy on loan to Cesena from FC Tokyo following his impressive 2010 World Cup effort for Japan in South Africa. In January 2011, Nagatomo moved to Inter on loan, and in July of that year the club acquired him on a full transfer.
