La Liga
The FC Barcelona has put Héctor Fort, a 20-year-old right-back, on the market. The Catalan club needs to close several deals to balance their finances after several signings.
The Catalan club is asking for around 20 million euros for the transfer of the academy player in this final stage of the summer transfer window, attracting interest from Borussia Dortmund and Real Sociedad, while the player is not in Hansi Flick's priority plans.

FC Barcelona's financial demands and Dortmund's progress
FC Barcelona has valued Fort's departure at between 15 and 20 million euros, despite his market value on Transfermarkt being 12 million euros. The board is willing to adjust the fixed amount if the deal includes reserving a percentage of a future sale to maintain control over the academy player, whose contract runs until 2029.
As reported by Matteo Moretto, Borussia Dortmund leads the race for the signing after direct discussions with the Catalan board. The German team aims to strengthen their right flank with the 20-year-old defender, currently ahead of competition from other European clubs such as Fulham and Inter Milan.
Real Sociedad's emergence in the battle for Héctor Fort
Real Sociedad has recently inquired about the full-back's situation to assess its financial feasibility. The Basque team aims to shore up their defense in this transfer window, though they view the initial valuation of 20 million euros requested by the Barcelona offices as high.
Fort played 38 games in the 2025/2026 season of LaLiga, recording 2 goals and 4 assists in his statistical balance. The Spanish U-20 international awaits a final decision on his destination after it was confirmed he won't have regular playing time under Flick's orders.
FC Barcelona's board will hold negotiation talks with Dortmund's representatives in the next 48 hours. If the German club doesn't meet the 20 million euros demand, Real Sociedad will propose a deal based on a future sale percentage to close the agreement before the weekend.
