Sporting want Barcelona’s Hector Fort on loan

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.

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

Joao Cancelo has returned to Manchester City after his loan, while Julian Araujo has been sold to Bournemouth.
