Barcelona decided to modify its strategy towards the future of its young defender Hector Fort, as it turned from adhering to its survival to openness to the idea of selling it during the current summer transfer period, in a sudden shift that reflects internal changes related to the balance between sports vision and financial returns.
Why did Barcelona change its position on Hector Fort?
At a time when Fort was supposed to remain in the ranks of the first team, in support of coach Hans Felk and giving competition a new character on the right -back position, the last days have seen a change in the club’s position. Instead of giving him the opportunity to compete with Gul Conde, or compensate for the absence of Eric Garcia, the administration chose to market the 19 -year -old.
This transformation was not related to the performance of Fort, but rather with Barcelona’s desire to benefit from its market value, especially since the player receives the attention of several European clubs thanks to his good performance in every appearance with his first team, despite his few posts last season.
Has Fort become out of Felk accounts?
With the start of the preparatory round in Japan and South Korea, the name Fort was completely absent from the list of matches, which was considered a clear indication of his chances of being present in the options of the new coach. Although he adheres to his dream in the “Camp Nou”, the player has become more aware of the difficulty of achieving this.
Details of the contract and the sale plan
Fort is linked to a contract that extends until the summer of 2029, which gives Barcelona a negotiating power over its fate. The current trends within the club indicate a preference for the final sale option for loan, while maintaining some guarantees such as the re -purchase item or a future percentage of any subsequent deal.
Are Fort numbers sufficient to evaluate his future?
Fort only participated in 20 games during the last season, with a total of 638 minutes only in all competitions, a low rate for the player who seeks to develop through continuous friction. Despite the club’s conviction of its talent, the general trend believes that selling it at this time represents an ideal opportunity to achieve a material return without greatly affecting the technical balance of the team.
