FC Barcelona have a number of players out on loan who will be returning to the club at the end of the ongoing campaign.<\/p>\n
However, not all of them will have a future at the Spotify Camp Nou once they come back and could leave on another loan stint or permanently.<\/p>\n
One such player facing this situation happens to be teenage defender Hector Fort. The 19-year-old La Masia graduate is currently on loan at Elche and has only recently returned from a lengthy injury layoff.<\/p>\n
Inter Milan, Bayer Leverkusen eyeing Fort<\/p>\n
Now, according to journalist Matteo Moretto, two big teams from Europe, Inter Milan and Bayer Leverkusen, have shown an interest in signing Fort in the summer.<\/p>\n
The right-back, for his part, has his heart set on staying at Barcelona<\/a> once he returns from Elche, although that scenario depends on several factors.<\/p>\n After all, Bar\u00e7a have Jules Kounde and Eric Garcia as their primary options in the right-back position, with Xavi Espart, who made his breakthrough this season, also being an alternative.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8 \ud835\udddd\ud835\udde8\ud835\udde6\ud835\udde7 \ud835\udddc\ud835\udde1: Inter Milan and Bayer Leverkusen are VERY interested in Hector Fort. <\/p>\n \u2014 @MatteMoretto<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/qLAXQwfvP7<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 The Touchline | \ud835\udc13 (@TouchlineX) May 1, 2026<\/a> <\/p>\n In addition, the Catalans also intend to sign Joao Cancelo, who can play on both flanks, on a permanent transfer in the summer.<\/p>\n So, it would be difficult for Fort to nail down a place in the first-team squad, making the possibility of a departure likely.<\/p>\n Inter Milan\u2019s interest, to that end, could prove to be a beneficial move for Barcelona as they can include the academy gem in the operation for Alessandro Bastoni and reduce the cost of the transfer, which could be around \u20ac60-65 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n A move to Bayer Leverkusen would also work for Fort as he would stand to play for a top team in a competitive league. <\/p>\n It remains to be seen how things evolve with regard to his future at Barcelona, with interest in him growing.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
