Barcelona set strict financial conditions for in-demand defender’s exit

Barcelona is setting strict financial conditions for the potential exit of in-demand defender Hector Fort. Initially, the move seemed straightforward, with Borussia Dortmund leading the charge, but late interest from Real Sociedad added complexity to the deal. Now, according to recent updates, Dortmund remains the strongest position to reach an agreement with Barcelona.

The Catalan giants, however, have clearly outlined the conditions under which they are willing to let Fort leave. Barcelona is demanding €20 million for 100% of the player's rights, or alternatively, they may consider a deal worth €8 million to €10 million in exchange for 50% of his rights. Should either of these conditions be met, the transfer process for Hector Fort would move forward.

Real Sociedad has now emerged as another serious contender in the pursuit of the young full-back. Barcelona's valuation of the player has evolved as well, with recent reports indicating a figure of €20 million for a full sale, although the club is also open to retaining a 50% stake in the player for a fee in the range of €8-10 million.
