Real Sociedad's sporting director, Erik Bretos, has started talks for 20-year-old right-back Héctor Fort, who could leave Barcelona after Dortmund's interest. The player, 1.85 meters tall, returns to Barça after a loan at Elche CF, where he couldn't showcase his quality due to a serious injury at the start of last season. The Blaugrana remain confident in his recovery, but his potential departure becomes urgent due to the club's need for funds in the transfer window, which closes in two weeks. Borussia Dortmund has advanced more in negotiations with Barça, even proposing Fort as a swap in the Karim Adeyemi deal. However, the German player completed his transfer to Camp Nou directly. Real Sociedad, which already has Jon Aramburu, Iñaki Rupérez, and injured Álvaro Odriozola in defense, could capitalize on the situation to sign the young defender, though the decision depends on the transfer market's evolution.
