According to &#8216;Jijantes&#8217; and &#8216;Mundo Deportivo&#8217;, the full-back&#8217;s move to Real Sociedad is imminent, pending only the player&#8217;s final green light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both outlets report that the primary ambition for Fort, who spent last season on loan at Elche, remains a switch to Borussia Dortmund. The German outfit tabled an appealing offer for the Barcelona native some time ago, but negotiations have since stalled, prompting the defender&#8217;s representatives to issue an ultimatum to Signal Iduna Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hector Fort has also attracted interest from Nottingham Forest and Everton, but Real Sociedad have pursued the 20-year-old academy graduate most aggressively. Should the player give the go-ahead, the deal will be finalised for \u20ac8.5 million, with Barca retaining 50% of his sell-on rights alongside a \u20ac20 million buy-back clause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FC Barcelona and Real Sociedad have reached an agreement for Hector Fort, though the transfer hinges on the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2054,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2053","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2053","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2053"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2053\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2055,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2053\/revisions\/2055"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2054"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2053"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2053"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2053"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
