Lamine Yamal says goodbye to his ‘brother’! Barcelona confirm €8m exit for La Masia star as Real Sociedad secure long-term deal
Fort’s departure marks the end of a decade-long association with Barcelona. Despite his progression through the famed La Masia system, the defender struggled to cement a permanent role in the senior setup. Following a stint at Elche last season, a permanent transfer represents his best opportunity for regular top-flight minutes.
His exit is part of a broader late-window clearance at Camp Nou. The Blaugrana are actively attempting to balance their books, leading to a host of academy talents being moved on. Toni Fernandez is expected to finalise a move to Venezia shortly, while Casado is reportedly weighing up interest from RB Leipzig and Besiktas.
