Borussia Dortmund want two Barcelona youngsters with Bundesliga side eyeing left-back and midfield signings

Dortmund are targeting two young Barcelona players, seeking reinforcements for both left-back and midfield positions, according to Mundo Deportivo. BVB’s focus is on right-back Fort, 19, and 17-year-old midfielder Fernandez. Both players have been involved in Barcelona’s pre-season squad but face limited prospects of first-team opportunities under coach Flick.

Fort, a Spanish youth international, is being pursued by several clubs including Paris FC, AC Milan, Mallorca and Ajax. Barcelona’s preference is a loan or a permanent move with a buy-back clause, as Fort struggles to break into the team, with Jules Kounde and Eric García ahead of him. Fernandez, a product of La Masia, is under contract until 2027 and is seeking guarantees of playing time. Dortmund, known for developing young talents are one of several clubs to have made concrete proposals for the creative midfielder.

Fort made 17 league appearances last season, mainly from the bench, and has 30 senior matches for Barcelona. Fernandez featured in the pre-season, getting 15 minutes against FC Seoul, but first-team minutes have been scarce. Both players are established Spain U19 internationals.

Decisions on both Fort and Fernandez are expected after Barcelona’s pre-season tour of Asia concludes. Dortmund continue to monitor the situation, with any progress hinging on Barcelona's willingness to negotiate favourable terms, including possible loan agreements or retaining rights through buy-back clauses. BVB recently strengthened their squad with Daniel Svensson at left-back and Jobe Bellingham in midfield, but remain in the market for further youth signings.
