Hector Fort close to joining Real Sociedad from Barcelona

Hector Fort is nearing a transfer to Real Sociedad from Barcelona as the summer transfer window closes. Barcelona intends to earn approximately €8 million from Fort’s sale while retaining 50% of his future rights. Following a meeting between Barcelona’s sporting director Deco and Fort’s representatives, discussions have advanced between the two clubs. Fort, who has struggled to secure playing time due to competition in Barcelona's squad, could benefit from regular football at Sociedad. His potential departure aligns with Barcelona's strategy to secure his interests while facilitating his development at a new club.
