FC Barcelona is close to finalizing the loan deal of Héctor Fort to Elche until the end of the current season. One of the main discards of Hansi Flick, as reported by Matteo Moretto.

The young right-back is not in Hansi Flick's plans, who has opted for Jules Koundé as a starter and Eric García as an alternative on the wing.

Therefore, the homegrown player will seek playing time at the Martínez Valero, after considering offers from teams like Mallorca and Milan in the final days of the transfer window. Everything points to Elche being the chosen destination to continue his progress.

Elche CF gains a key reinforcement in defense

The arrival of Héctor Fort at Elche represents a quality leap for a team looking to consolidate itself in the mid-table. At just 19 years old, the full-back is considered one of the gems of the Blaugrana's academy, with great offensive potential and the ability to adapt to different systems.

Eder Sarabia values his addition as a priority to strengthen a defense that needed freshness and youth. If the agreement is finalized, Fort will coincide with Iñaki Peña, who signed with the Elche club last week.

Hansi Flick sets the course at Barcelona

The new coach of FC Barcelona, Hansi Flick, made it clear from the start that his confidence was placed in established profiles. At the beginning of this season, Koundé and Eric García have been chosen to occupy the right-back position, leaving Fort with no chances to accumulate minutes at the Camp Nou.

The decision to loan him out is part of a strategic plan by the club: for the player to return in 2026 with more competitive experience and ready to fight for a place in the first team.

Over the past weeks, Héctor Fort was closely followed by Mallorca, although the presence of Pablo Maffeo prevented any possibility of his arrival. Milan also flirted with the idea of signing him, but the lack of time worked against reaching an agreement.

Meanwhile, the player joined the concentration of the sub-20 national team in Fontainebleau, leaving the negotiations in the hands of his agents. Just hours before the market closes, Elche's sports management is working against the clock to finalize the loan.

With 12 official matches played with Barcelona's first team, Fort is considered one of the emerging talents from La Masía. His loan to Elche aims to provide him continuity at the elite level, in a context where his development will be crucial for both his career and the Blaugranas' future.

If he manages to establish himself in the League, Héctor Fort's return in 2026 could be fundamental for a club that needs to reinforce its full-backs in the medium term.
