Hector Fort on the Verge of Leaving Barcelona in Permanent Deal

It seems that Barcelona has changed its plan regarding the future of young full-back Hector Fort, as the club's management has decided to open the door for his permanent departure during the current summer transfer window, rather than just settling for another loan deal.

According to Sport, Barcelona prefers to sell Fort, with the club wanting to include terms in the deal that ensure future benefits, whether through a high resale percentage or another mechanism that protects its financial interests.

This decision comes amid the uncertainty surrounding Fort's place in coach Hans Flick's plans, especially with the fierce competition for the right-back position, alongside the possibility of relying on other players capable of covering multiple roles in the backline.

Reports indicate that Barcelona is eager not to lose full control over the player's future, and is therefore looking to retain a significant percentage of his financial rights in the event of a transfer to another club and a future sale. This comes as several clubs have begun to express interest in the young defender.

Among the most interested in Fort's services currently are Everton and Fulham, with increasing efforts to determine his future before the transfer market closes, making a permanent departure from Barcelona a more likely option than continuing on loan.
