Como Has Big Plans to Succeed in the Coming Years with Cesc Fàbregas. The plan is clear: to look for young talents at a low price to help them grow and increase their value with minutes in Serie A. During the past winter transfer window, Barça received calls from the Italian team on several occasions, showing interest in academy players, but not all of them ended in an agreement.
Later, Marca revealed that the conversations between Como and Barça had a clear objective: Héctor Fort. The full-back was very appealing to Cesc Fàbregas to strengthen his squad, and the Italians were willing to pay 8 million euros. The problem was that there wasn't much time left, and, moreover, the Catalan defender had no intention of leaving.
Despite Héctor Fort not having many minutes since Hansi Flick's arrival, he still trusts in betting on his continuity at FC Barcelona. He is clear that he wants to succeed wearing the blaugrana jersey and, so far, he has been rejecting all the approaches that have come his way. He has not only said "no" to Como but also to Valencia, which wanted him on loan.
Héctor Fort Rejects Como, Only Thinks About Barça: Cesc Fàbregas, KO
Cesc Fàbregas tried hard with Héctor Fort, but there was no way. He tried to convince him personally with minutes, even offering him a starting position, but the Barça academy player didn't see it clearly. There, he also spoke with Sergi Roberto, former culer captain, and even with Nico Paz. However, none managed to change his mind.
This winter transfer window, there have been numerous contacts between Barça and Como for players wearing the blaugrana. Not only Héctor Fort, but also Eric García, for whom Cesc Fàbregas's team put 10 million euros on the table. In this case, the proposal was directly rejected by Flick, who didn't want to lose him.
The case of Álex Valle is different, as he was on loan at Celtic. His minutes decreased, and Como took advantage of this condition, securing his loan for the remainder of the season. The left-back has already played three matches in Serie A, leaving a great impression and increasing his value for a possible future sale by Barça.
