Borussia Dortmund have their sights set on Barcelona full-back Hector Fort!

According to press reports, Borussia Dortmund are currently working to convince Barcelona star Hector Fort to join the Black and Yellows. The 20-year-old right-back is not part of coach Hansi Flick's plans.

Sources indicate that talks are ongoing between the two clubs and that the Spanish side is open to a move to Signal Iduna Park. Barcelona are asking for €20 million for the player, as reported by Yahoo Sports.

Borussia Dortmund want to strengthen their squad by signing Hector Furt

Having already secured the signatures of Giannis Konstantelias and Joey Veerman this summer, Borussia Dortmund are now treading carefully when it comes to their next target. The Bundesliga giants are reluctant to splash out a substantial fee for their latest defensive prospect, preferring instead to explore more budget-friendly routes—whether that takes the form of a temporary loan arrangement or a creatively structured deal that eases the immediate financial burden.

Should their pursuit of Fort hit an impasse, however, Dortmund have not left themselves without options. The club's recruitment team have reportedly drawn up a contingency list featuring two intriguing alternatives: Chelsea's promising young defender Josh Acheampong and Torino's versatile right-back Marcus Pedersen. Both names have been floated as viable fallbacks should the primary target prove too expensive to acquire on Dortmund's terms.
