La Masia graduate Hector Fort has delivered a heartfelt goodbye to Barcelona fans following the confirmation of his permanent move to Real Sociedad. The 20-year-old defender leaves his boyhood club after 13 years, marking the end of a journey that began when he was just seven years old.
Barcelona have officially confirmed the departure of 20-year-old defender Hector Fort, who has completed a permanent move to Real Sociedad. The La Masia graduate leaves the Spotify Camp Nou in a deal worth approximately €8 million, bringing an end to his decade-long association with the Catalan giants. His departure deals a significant emotional blow to close friend Lamine Yamal, who reportedly views the departing La Masia graduate as a 'brother'.
Barcelona starlet Lamine Yamal is reportedly feeling "hurt" by the club's recent internal decisions regarding his closest friends in the first-team squad. Despite a dominant start to the new La Liga campaign, the teenager's visible frustration during a recent substitution has sparked intense debate across the Spanish media.
Elche's on-loan Barcelona defender Hector Fort has revealed a personal post-match conversation with Hansi Flick, saying that the manager "cares about me." The youngster also lifted the lid on the "special" experience of facing his close friend Lamine Yamal during Elche's 3-1 LaLiga defeat, a match which also saw Inaki Pena return to face his parent club.
