Barcelona defender Hector Fort is wanted on loan by Portuguese side Sporting, according to multiple reports.

The youngster broke into the first team last season and will be hoping to be part of Hansi Flick’s squad this season.

Marca are reporting that he’s determined to stay at Barca, despite Sporting’s interest, and is keen to battle for minutes.

Manchester City are the 2023 Premier League champions.

Fort only signed a contract extension earlier this summer and knows there’s a path into the first-team at present.

Jules Kounde has started the season at right-back but has long made it clear his favored position is in the middle of the defence.

Barcelona are currently being linked with a move for Marc Pubill but signing the Olympic star and sending Fort out on loan would be a curious move by the club
