E be like say wahala dey for Barcelona small small, as one of their young stars, Héctor Fort, dey attract eye from France. Reports don comot say Ligue 1 club, Paris FC, don show serious interest to sign the young right-back wey dey burst brain for Barca youth and B team.
Héctor Fort no be ordinary baller. E be one of the bright lights for La Masia – Barcelona famous academy wey don produce legends like Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and dem plenty others. Even though e still dey young, the guy don already dey make small small waves inside the Barca set-up. Last season, he get few chances with the senior team and show say he no dey fear pressure.
But the truth be say, as e good reach, life no easy for young players like Fort for big clubs like Barca. Competition dey heavy, especially for defence. You get people like João Cancelo (if Barca still fit hold am), Jules Koundé, and even Ronald Araújo wey fit play right-back. So Héctor dey face serious wahala to break into the first team steady-steady.
Na why Paris FC come reason say, “Make we carry this guy come our side. E go help us and e go grow well.” For Paris FC, dem dey rebuild and dem dey find young, hungry players wey go fit ginger the squad. Héctor Fort fit be just the perfect guy for that role.
Wetin make this move make sense be say e go benefit both sides. For Paris FC, dem go get young baller wey sabi defend and still join attack. The guy get pace, discipline and eye for good pass. For Héctor Fort, na chance to play regular senior football without the constant bench wey fit slow him progress for Barca.
Even though Paris FC no be as big as PSG, dem still dey Ligue 1 and the league no be child’s play. E go give Fort real taste of tough football week in, week out. And if e fit show him worth, bigger clubs go dey watch.
But the koko be say: Barcelona go gree make e go?
Barca dey struggle financially, and sometimes dem dey quick sell young players to raise funds or reduce wage bills. But dem also sabi say Héctor Fort na long-term asset. If dem sell am now, e fit turn superstar for another club and dem go dey regret am later – like how Romeu, Grimaldo, or even Cucurella blow after dem leave La Masia.
One strategy wey dem fit use na loan. Maybe Paris FC go take am on loan with option to buy. That way, Barcelona still get small control over the matter, especially if Fort shine and dem wan bring am back later.
Meanwhile, fans don dey react online. Some dey happy say Fort go get chance to play, others dey vex say Barca no dey protect their youth products enough.
One fan tweet say:
“Another gem about to go. Barca no dey learn. Fort go blow and we go dey chase am with €40m in two years.”
Another one talk say:
“If Paris FC go give am playing time, then na better move. Young boys need grass, not bench.”
As transfer window still dey open, anything fit happen. If Fort go Paris FC, e fit be beginning of better career for am. But if Barcelona hold am tight, dem go need give am real chance make e no go waste talent.
One thing sure – football fans go dey watch closely how this transfer saga go end.
