Gerard Romero reports that Borussia Dortmund has expressed interest in Hector Fort amid ongoing discussions regarding Karim Adeyemi’s future. The German club's interest in Fort is understood to be directly linked to the Karim Adeyemi Barcelona transfer. Dortmund is exploring whether Fort could be included in the deal to reduce the difference between the two clubs’ valuations. Fort has recently returned from his loan spell at Elche and is expected to begin pre-season under Hansi Flick. Barcelona could consider using the academy graduate as part of a deal if it helps secure Adeyemi’s arrival.

Hector Fort, a promising 19-year-old right-back who has made 17 appearances in La Liga during the 2024-2025 season, is garnering attention from Borussia Dortmund. According to Mundo Deportivo, FC Barcelona, where Fort is currently playing, is considering either a loan or a transfer option while wanting to retain a percentage of his rights. They are also keen on including a buy-back clause should Fort's performance see a marked improvement. Fort is reportedly eager to continue his preparations with Barcelona in an attempt to impress coach Hansi Flick, although his chances appear limited due to the presence of competitors like Jules Koundé and Eric Garcia. Besides Borussia Dortmund, clubs such as AC Milan, Ajax Amsterdam, and Majorca have also expressed interest in the young player. Barcelona's stipulations for any potential deal, including retaining a percentage of Fort's rights and a buy-back clause, are expected to play a significant role in the decision-making process of the interested parties.
