Hansi Flick is carrying out a clean-up at Barcelona, and has already begun to shape his squad for the upcoming season. One of the first casualties would be Héctor Fort, an 18-year-old right-back who is not among the priorities of the German coach for the approaching season. The lack of opportunities under the guidance of the new coach has opened the door to a possible exit for the young footballer.
Héctor Fort, on the way out
Trained in the lower categories of the Catalan club, Fort has been considered for years one of the most promising prospects in his position. His ability to join the attack and his good defensive reading caught the eye of the previous coaching staff, although his progress appears to have stalled after the change in the dugout. Flick's arrival has reshuffled the hierarchies, and the young defender is currently not part of the first team's main plans.
Those around the player are starting to consider that a loan or even a transfer might be the most suitable option for the player to find continuity elsewhere. Although the club does not rule out including a buy-back clause in case of a sale, the current priority would be to ensure quality playing time that allows him to keep growing.
Several entities, both in Spain and abroad, have inquired about his situation, aware of the talent he possesses despite not having a place in the Barcelona squad. Barcelona, on its side, has not yet made a final decision, but time is running out as the preseason progresses without Fort having a leading role. In the meantime, the player trains awaiting to define his future in the coming weeks.
