H\u00e9ctor Fort started the preseason as the third option for right backs. In addition, the defender violated an unquestionable rule for Hansi Flick: punctuality<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

FC Barcelona<\/strong> has not yet defined the future of H\u00e9ctor Fort<\/strong> this summer. The full-back has a contract until 2026 and his renewal has not yet been finalized<\/strong>, although it was planned to extend his link with the club until 2029 once the youth player turned 18.<\/p>

In 24\/25, the ’32’ played 21 matches (710 minutes)<\/strong>, being the defender with the least participation in the squad after Andreas Christensen<\/a><\/strong>. The Dane, however, was practically injured all season and only reappeared in May with the team.<\/p>

In that sense, Fort starts the preseason knowing that he is the third option for the right back. Although he is the only natural player in this position, Jules Kound\u00e9 and Eric Garc\u00eda are the first alternatives<\/strong> in Hansi Flick’s plans.<\/p>

The Frenchman has been performing at a very high level for two seasons, while the player from Martorell closed 24\/25 as a starter on the wing<\/strong> after the ’23’ injury. Despite this complex scenario, H\u00e9ctor does not see his departure clearly in the summer market.<\/p>

Hansi Flick, annoyed with H\u00e9ctor Fort at the start of the preseason<\/h2>

However, the 18-year-old defender has started the preseason on the wrong foot, after violating one of the ‘sacred’ rules of the coach. Fort arrived several minutes late to the first session on Monday<\/strong>, a mistake that already cost Kound\u00e9 a starting place in two league games the previous year.<\/p>

Another who paid dearly for being late to a technical talk was I\u00f1aki Pe\u00f1a<\/strong>. The goalkeeper lost his place to Wojciech Szczesny<\/strong> in January for this reason and, finally, the Pole left him out of the squad for next season<\/strong>, although the Alicante native has one more year of contract.<\/p>

For H\u00e9ctor, the luck could be similar this summer, considering that both Jules and Eric have Flick’s confidence to defend the right wing. Garc\u00eda, yes, must also renew before<\/a>, as he only has a contract for one more year with the club.<\/p>

What will be the future of H\u00e9ctor Fort? Bar\u00e7a has not yet received offers<\/h2>

At the moment, the Bar\u00e7a board has not received formal offers for the ’32’, although several teams are attentive to his future. In January, the Italian Como<\/strong> explored the possibility of signing him, while in recent weeks PSV Eindhoven<\/strong> and Ajax<\/strong> have also been mentioned as possible destinations for the Catalan defender.<\/p>

H\u00e9ctor Fort arrived at the club in 2021 and has 30 appearances with the first team and another 18 with the reserve team<\/strong>. His termination clause was not revealed after his last renewal, but Bar\u00e7a could let him leave for around 10 million euros (his current value).<\/p>
