Borussia Dortmund were strongly interested in the 20-year-old right-back Hector Fort of Barcelona, who is now joining Real Sociedad. What kind of player has BVB let slip through their fingers?
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.
Barcelona are still without a genuine centre-forward even after the start of the season. That is why their attention is said to have recently turned to Borussia Dortmund and Serhou Guirassy.
