According to Mundo Deportivo, Real Sociedad is accelerating their transfer efforts, with defense being a key area for reinforcement.

The team has conceded more goals than expected this season. In addition to recruiting a center-back, Real Sociedad also hopes to strengthen their right-back position, where Jon Aramburu plays, but Iñaki Rupérez is currently still relatively inexperienced.

In this context, the name Hector Fort has emerged. Matteo Moretto previously mentioned that Real Sociedad had inquired about Barcelona's left-back, and Mundo Deportivo also confirmed this, but reaching an agreement is equally complicated.

Currently, La Liga champions Barcelona's stance is to sell Hector Fort, with the club hoping to receive an offer between €10 million and €15 million. For Real Sociedad, this figure is too high, especially since they don't urgently need reinforcement in this position.

Real Sociedad initially considered a loan deal. Fort was loaned to Elche last season, which would be the most attractive option for "txuri urdin," but those close to the player also know that if this deal happens, it would likely come with a significant purchase clause.

It's not just Real Sociedad; other Spanish clubs are also interested in the 20-year-old left-back, but all face the same difficult situation. It is widely believed that if Fort leaves, he is more likely to play abroad. However, according to Mundo Deportivo, Real Sociedad remains interested in Fort, and if circumstances change significantly, they would consider him a good option to join the club.

In addition to Hector Fort, Real Sociedad also contacted RB Leipzig regarding the same position, inquiring about Lutsharel Geertruida. The player was close to returning to the Eredivisie, with the Bundesliga club negotiating with PSV.

However, according to Fabrizio Romano, in recent hours Real Sociedad has also made contact, expressing interest in a loan deal for the 27-year-old Dutch international. Everton and Ajax have made similar moves. This path is not straightforward, as the journalist stated that the decision now rests with the player, who has the next 24 hours to decide his destination.
