The offer from Como that FC Barcelona rejected for Héctor Fort

Cesc Fàbregas was very interested in two players from FC Barcelona to strengthen the Italian Como during the last winter transfer market. In addition to the well-known interest of the Lombard team in Eric García, for whom they were willing to pay up to 10 million euros, 'MARCA' recently revealed an offer from the 'voltiano' team for Héctor Fort, who just played his third match as a starter in the 2024/25 season last Monday.

According to information leaked by the Madrid newspaper, Barça rejected 8 'kilos' net from Como for Fort, despite the limited role of the Barça academy player under Hansi Flick's orders. The 18-year-old defender has only accumulated 465 minutes spread over 14 matches, but the coach continues to trust him as a substitute for a Jules Koundé who has only left the Barça lineup for disciplinary reasons (tardiness).

Barça will continue to trust Héctor Fort

In this sense, Barça is betting on Héctor for the future, beyond the few opportunities he has had this season. And Flick's opinion was key in that decision, just as it was in Eric's case. The full-back is the only player in the squad who has shown the ability to defend both flanks, although he is a natural right-back. His market value reaches 10 million on Transfermarkt, so it is likely that the club will renew him before the summer, updating his contract.

And for now, Héctor Fort still holds a contract with the reserve team, despite having only played one match with Barça Atlètic (the 3-0 victory against Ourense, on matchday 2) in the 24/25 season. Looking ahead to the next summer transfer market, there will be several offers on the table for the 18-year-old player, one of the revelations of last season with Xavi Hernández on the bench. The Egarense put him in 10 matches where the full-back provided 3 assists playing on the left flank.
