Barcelona and Dortmund finalize Hector Fort's move to Bundesliga
Summary

Borussia Dortmund is reportedly finalizing the transfer of Hector Fort from Barcelona. The deal comes after Dortmund's disappointing start to the season, highlighted by their defeat to Bayern Munich in the DFL Supercup, which exposed their depth issues in the fullback position. Dortmund is aiming to strengthen their defensive lineup by adding Fort, who has previously rejected offers from other clubs to join. The structure of the deal is being negotiated, with Barcelona seeking between €15 million and €20 million, while Dortmund is aiming for a price around €10 million with potential buyback clauses. Fort's technical ability could benefit Dortmund's attacking plays this season.
