- Fort favours مايوركا loan over وست هام و أستون فيلا
- Move depends on Pablo Maffeo’s departure from the club
- Mallorca already recruited Barca youngsters Torre and Virgili
برشلونة full-back Fort has chosen a loan move to Mallorca as his preferred destination, but the deal is currently on hold. According to a report from موندو ديبورتيفو recent talks between the clubs have been positive, but the transfer is contingent on Mallorca first selling their current right-back, Maffeo. Moreover, he has reportedly chosen the La Liga side over reported interest from الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز clubs West Ham and Aston Villa
The 19-year-old is seeking regular first-team football and has prioritised a move within La Liga to continue his development. His proposed switch to the Balearic Islands, however, now hinges entirely on Maffeo’s future. Maffeo has an offer from Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro, but his departure from Mallorca has stalled, leaving Fort’s loan in limbo with the end of the transfer window approaching.
Mallorca have become a popular destination for Barcelona’s young talent this summer. The club has already signed midfielder Pablo Torre on loan from the Blaugrana and recently completed a transfer for another academy prospect, Jan Virgili, highlighting the strong working relationship between the two clubs.
The teenager’s immediate future depends on Maffeo’s move away from Mallorca being completed. Should the defender’s transfer be finalised, Fort’s loan is expected to be rubber-stamped quickly. However, if the deal for Maffeo collapses, Fort will be forced to reconsider other options on the table to secure a move away from Barcelona before the deadline.
