Hector Fort It is the latest example of Barcelona’s now famous ‘Made in Masia’ policy. Born in 2006, the right back who recently started playing on the left wing as a replacement for the injured Alex Baldé, yesterday signed a renewal with the club of his life until 2026.

In Rafa Marquez’s Barça B he plays as a right-back, while among the seniors he is often deployed on the left and in the youth teams he also played the role of central. Fort also shone in the Youth League, before being definitively accepted by the big boys.
