Héctor Fort remains on the sidelines in Barcelona: Mallorca has not yet closed his loan

Héctor Fort knows that he is not in FC Barcelona's plans, so he must find a new team, at least for the 2025/26 season. The most interested in acquiring his services is RCD Mallorca, who have managed to extract gold from the Azulgrana team during the current transfer window.

However, the 'bermellón' team, who lost in their league debut precisely against the Azulgrana team by a score of 0-3, still has not made the definitive move for the '32', waiting to release another of their players.

Despite this, the 19-year-old right back did not participate in the last training session of the Catalan team's first team, in the lead-up to the match against Rayo Vallecano for J3 of LaLiga. The defender will wear the shirt again, but for Barça Atlètic this Sunday, in the friendly match scheduled against CE L’Hospitalet.

Fort recently had minutes with the reserve team in the match against Atlètic Lleida, with the intention of maintaining his competitive rhythm and avoiding the loss of playing time while he continues to wait to define his sporting future.

Maffeo's departure, key for Mallorca to sign Héctor Fort

In this sense, Héctor Fort is shaping up as one of the last operations of Mallorca's transfer window to finish off the great summer market they are having, according to recent reports.

The Balearic team, which is finalizing the transfer of Pablo Maffeo to Atlético Mineiro, sees the Azulgrana youth player as his natural replacement on the right flank of Son Moix, while the player waits.

Although the 'mallorquinista' team is close to closing the incorporation on loan of the '32' from Barça, the player, apparently, received interest from others such as Como 1907, Borussia Dortmund, Paris FC, AC Milan, Ajax and West Ham.

Héctor Fort, without space for the right back position at Barça

Although at the beginning of the 2024/25 season, Héctor Fort was shaping up as the natural replacement for Jules Koundé at right back, the emergence with hierarchy of Eric García at the end of the season in the aforementioned demarcation vanished any possibility of protagonism for the '32', who finished the season playing just 638 minutes, while in the current season he has not seen action.

Likewise, the coaching staff would also consider that he still needs to improve some aspects of his game, so a loan could help him achieve greater potential to try to make a place for himself in the Barça squad. For now, his future is far from the Catalan team.

Mallorca and their love for Barça players

In this argumentative order, the 'dimonis' team, if they achieve Fort's loan, would have acquired three players from Barcelona. And it is that last August 28, Mallorca announced the arrival of Jan Virgili until 2030. The operation was closed for a figure that ranges between 3.4 and 4 million euros for Barça.

Likewise, the 'mallorqunistas' only acquired 50% of the rights of the former player from the lower categories of the Catalan team and the other 50% is retained by the Blaugrana. In addition, the Culés kept a repurchase option that was not specified.

Another player that Mallorca took from Barça in this summer market was Pablo Torre. The Barcelona team also sold only 50% of the player's rights for a figure of 5 M€. They also kept a repurchase option, but for 25 'kilos'. The midfielder signed as 'bermellón' until 2029.
