Fulham are exploring a potential €10m move for Barcelona defender Héctor Fort. The Cottagers' manager, Álvaro Arbeloa, has already brought in Gonzalo García and César Palacios from his former club, and the reported interest in Fort would add another young Spanish player to that recruitment drive. Fort can play at either left-back or right-back and returned to Barcelona this summer after a loan spell with Elche. The reported valuation is around €10 million, with Barcelona expected to sanction a permanent departure if that level of offer is made. The report describes Fulham's interest through Arbeloa's request to the club's board to examine a deal. With Fulham currently 11th in the Premier League table, 33 points behind leaders Arsenal, and on a 2-game winning run, the club is looking to strengthen their squad. The next fixture for Fulham is against Ipswich on October 10, 2026.
