Over the past two days, the Catalan media have covered West Ham United’s interest in Barcelona’s Marc Casadó. On Thursday, Sport reported the Hammers want to sign him ‘no matter what’.
A fresh report from Sport backs up West Ham’s desire to sign the midfielder this summer. They add the Premier League club also want to sign his Barcelona teammate, Héctor Fort.
Fort is behind Jules Koundé for the right-back position at the Camp Nou. Barcelona face Levante in the league this weekend and the 19-year-old wasn’t seen arriving at the club’s facilities on Friday morning.
Sport report this is because the La Liga winners have granted him permission to sort out his future, which could be at West Ham. They are ready to formalise a loan offer and are waiting for an exit, likely to make advances.
Other clubs have shown interest in the youngster, but the deal with the London club is on right track and could be completed next week.
West Ham initially showed interest in Casadó, who is reluctant to leave the Camo Nou. During their talks with Barcelona for the 21-year-old midfielder, the option of signing Fort emerged.
Luckily for the English club, the fullback would prioritise joining them over other, but on loan. The report states the player and Barca want a quick resolution and barring any last-minute surprises, West Ham will be his next destination.
There could be movements quickly as another report from Sport claims Fort hasn’t been training today. They add he’s evaluated several offers and will make an imminent decision on his next move.
