Madrid – Reuters: The Spanish Football Federation has imposed a modest fine of 602 euros on Barcelona for attempting to sign Argentine striker Julian Alvarez, following a complaint lodged by Atletico Madrid due to the Catalan club’s contact with the player.
Atletico accused its rival Barcelona of contacting Alvarez, whose contract runs until June 2030, without prior written notification.
The sanction falls under Article 133 of the Spanish Football Federation’s regulations.
As for Alvarez, his efforts to rectify the situation were more public. He scored the winning goal for Atletico Madrid against Deportivo La Coruna last Saturday, netting for the second consecutive match and narrowing the gap to two points behind league leaders Barcelona, before publicly apologizing for having expressed his desire to join the rival club.
