The brass at Real Sociedad have touched base with their counterparts at La Liga rivals Barcelona regarding a potential deal for a member of the latter’s defensive ranks.
The Blaugrana star in the sights of those in a position of power at Anoeta ahead of the new season? Héctor Fort.
Youngster Fort, for those not aware, is now widely expected to depart the Spotify Camp Nou before the summer is out. After evidently not doing enough to convince Hansi Flick of his talents during a loan spell with Elche last season, the 20-year-old has been identified as dispensable by Deco and his team of directors.
A whole host of clubs from across Spain and Europe alike, in turn, are understood to have expressed an interest in bringing Fort in.
And as alluded to above, this week, the identity of a new suitor to have positioned themselves in the Fort sweepstakes has been revealed in the Spanish media. The info comes courtesy of transfer market journalist Matteo Moretto, who reports:
‘Real Sociedad have also inquired about Héctor Fort.’
