Hector Fort

In August 2026, Hector Fort transferred to Real Sociedad for a reported fee of €8.5 million, with Barcelona retaining 40-50% of his rights, a sell-on clause, and a buy-back option valued at €20-€25 million. His new release clause is reportedly €60 million. During the same period, Barcelona's asking price was consistently cited as €15-€20 million. Borussia Dortmund was reportedly discussing a €20 million fee but made an offer of €10 million plus a 50% sell-on clause. Fulham was linked with a quoted price of around €10 million. A year prior, in August 2025, Aston Villa was reportedly willing to pay up to €15 million. An €8 million offer from Como was reportedly rejected in February 2025.

Our valuation is driven by the consistent reports in August 2026 of FC Barcelona's asking price for Hector Fort, which ranged from €15 million to €20 million during negotiations with clubs like Borussia Dortmund. The final transfer to Real Sociedad for €8.5 million, but for only 50-60% of the player's rights, implies a total valuation within our estimated range. The inclusion of a €20-€25 million buy-back clause further solidifies this higher-end valuation.
