Barcelona star set for move to La Liga rivals | OneFootball

A member of the defensive ranks at Barcelona is on the verge of a move to La Liga rivals Elche.

That’s according to Blaugrana insider Gerard Romero, who points towards Héctor Fort as the player in question.

Full-back Fort has for his part of course taken his place centre stage in the media chatter surrounding Barcelona for several weeks now.

This comes with confirmation that the 19-year-old has fallen out of favour under Hansi Flick having been followed by transfer links with a whole host of clubs.

Fort, in turn, was not afforded a call-up to Barca’s squad for the club’s meeting with Rayo Vallecano on Sunday.

And as alluded to above, hours out from the transfer deadline, the youngster appears to be on the verge of sealing his long-awaited Camp Nou exit.

As per a report from journalist Gerard Romero:

‘Héctor Fort is close to (a move to) Elche.’
