Following a successful campaign where FC Barcelona retained the La Liga and Spanish Super Cup titles, preparations for the 2026-27 season have begun, with young players involved.
Héctor Fort, who spent last season on loan at Elche, has been called up to join the first team's preseason training under coach Hansi Flick starting July 13. Fort aims to complete the full preseason camp and convince the staff of his readiness to stay with the senior squad.
The player is aware of the tough competition for the left-back position from experienced players like Jules Koundé and Eric Garcia, as well as academy prospect Xavi Espart. He also knows that improving his defensive skills will be crucial to earn his place.
Should Héctor Fort not remain with Barcelona, other clubs such as Inter Milan, Bayer Leverkusen, and Borussia Dortmund have expressed interest in him.
After the training camp in England, coach Hansi Flick will decide whether Fort stays with the senior team or moves elsewhere to continue his development.
