Real Sociedad interested in Barcelona's Hector Fort amid transfer complications

Summary

Hector Fort, a young right-back at Barcelona, is drawing interest from Real Sociedad. The Basque club has inquired about his situation but faces challenges due to Barcelona's asking price between €10 million and €15 million, which is considered high. Real Sociedad seeks to strengthen their defense after conceding more goals than expected. While they prefer to arrange a loan deal, Barcelona is inclined to secure a permanent transfer, potentially complicating any deal. Fort is reportedly interested in a move to Real Sociedad, should circumstances change.
