Elche CF could be on the verge of signing young talent Hector Fort, who currently plays for Barcelona. According to Goal, German club Borussia Dortmund is in pole position to sign him. Fort, 20, has played only briefly for Barcelona's first team and spent last season on loan at Elche CF. Despite not making a big impact on the team, the young player remains an interesting option for several Premier League and German clubs. Elche CF could take advantage of the situation to replace Yan Couto, who has gone on loan to Como 1907. Coach Niko Kovac would have only Julian Ryerson as a natural right-back. Young Fort could be the perfect replacement for Couto, as he is a player with a lot of potential and could grow in the team. The transfer fee could be 20 million euros, although there is also talk of a 10 million euro option with a 50% commission for Barcelona. Elche CF could take advantage of the situation to sign Fort and strengthen their team.
