According to Matteo Moretto, and later confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, the deal is being wrapped up via a €8 million transfer. In addition, Barça would protect itself for the future by including a clause that would entitle it to 50% of a future sale of the player.

The decision by Hector Fort himself has been key in bringing the operation to a definitive close. Borussia Dortmund had been negotiating for the Blaugrana youth player for several days and had appeared to be the best-placed destination, but Real Sociedad stepped up its moves over the last few hours and managed to convince the player.

The Donostia club had been looking for alternatives to strengthen the right-back position for some time. Jon Aramburu is currently the main option for that role, and the decision that Iñaki Rupérez would continue the season with the Sanse had increased the need to bring in another player for the spot.

Fort, meanwhile, had already assumed his exit from Barcelona after realizing that he was not part of Hansi Flick's top-priority plans. The defender has been working away from the group in recent weeks while the club and his representatives searched for a definitive solution for his future.

The Blaugrana youth prospect also arrives with experience in La Liga. Last season he was on loan at Elche, where he played 17 matches, while with Barcelona's first team he has already built up around thirty official appearances.

Unless there is an unexpected twist in the final stages of the negotiations, Hector Fort will swap Barcelona for San Sebastian and become a new option for Pellegrino Matarazzo. A particularly interesting signing for fantasy purposes, as the young full-back will be looking for the minutes and continuity he did not have guaranteed at the Blaugrana club.

Without a doubt, it would be a fantasy jackpot for all the managers who signed him a few days ago and did not sell him despite strong rumors of a possible move to the English or German leagues.
