Barcelona is nearing a deal to transfer defender Hector Fort, but the move to Borussia Dortmund has become complicated due to the Spanish club’s strict financial demands. The club is seeking a specific financial structure for the transfer, impacting the potential deal.
Barcelona’s plan to send Hector Fort away from the club is moving closer to a conclusion, but what initially looked like a straightforward move to Borussia Dortmund has become more complicated. In recent hours, sources have indicated that the Catalan club is not willing to accept just any offer for the 17-year-old right-back. They are demanding a transfer fee of €5 million plus a 30% sell-on clause.
The demand for a sell-on clause is proving to be a sticking point in negotiations. This clause would entitle Barcelona to receive 30% of any future profit made by Borussia Dortmund if they were to sell Fort to another club. While Borussia Dortmund is reportedly willing to meet the €5 million fee, they are hesitant to agree to the 30% sell-on clause, viewing it as excessive.
Fort has reportedly already communicated his desire to join Borussia Dortmund, and personal terms are not expected to be an issue. However, until Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund can reach an agreement on the financial terms, the transfer remains in limbo. The situation highlights Barcelona’s current financial constraints and their desire to secure future revenue streams through sell-on clauses.
