Departing Barcelona star ‘has lost a transfer suitor’ | OneFootball

An out-of-favour member of the defensive ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona has this week bid farewell to one potential destination for next season.

That’s according to Diario Sport, who point towards Héctor Fort as the player in question.

The name of youngster Fort has of course emerged as a prominent one in the headlines surrounding Barcelona over the last week.

This comes amid the understanding that the 19-year-old does not feature in the plans of manager Hansi Flick for the season ahead.

Potential destinations for Fort, in turn, are now being actively sought out, with a year-long loan move considered the ideal scenario for all parties.

As alluded to above, however, this week, one of the versatile full-back’s leading suitors have made the call to pull the plug on talks for his signature.

As per a report from Sport:

‘Fort now knows that contacts with Mallorca have died. The Balearic club expressed interest in the full-back’s situation several days ago, but negotiations have stalled. Barcelona’s high demands when and the difficulties in finding a way out for Pablo Maffeo have caused Arrasate’s team to reconsider the right-back market.’
