Barcelona has initiated the process of selling defender Héctor Fort to improve financial flexibility and manage squad registration. Initially, the club set an asking price of €10 million, with interest reported from Real Sociedad, Premier League clubs Everton and Fulham, and Borussia Dortmund.

As negotiations progressed, the situation evolved toward a potential move to the Bundesliga. Reports indicate that Fort has expressed a preference for Borussia Dortmund. Consequently, Barcelona’s valuation of the player increased, with the club reportedly seeking a fee between €15 million and €20 million. Discussions between the two clubs have included various transfer structures, such as a lower initial fee paired with a percentage of a future sale and a buy-back option for Barcelona.
