Barcelona Fined €602 by Spanish FA Following Atlético Complaint Over Julián Álvarez
The Spanish FA has fined Barcelona €602 after Atlético Madrid complained about an unauthorized approach for Argentine striker Julián Álvarez.
The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) imposed a fine of €602 (£503) on FC Barcelona on Tuesday, October 27, under Article 133 of its disciplinary code. The penalty follows a formal complaint by Atlético Madrid, who accused Barcelona of contacting Argentine striker Julián Álvarez without notifying Atlético in writing beforehand. Álvarez, who scored the winning goal in Atlético's victory over Deportivo La Coruña on Saturday, October 24, remains under contract at the Metropolitano until June 2030.
Amid the controversy, Álvarez addressed the situation publicly and apologized to Atlético Madrid supporters for comments he made during the World Cup expressing a desire to join Barcelona. Reflecting on his past remarks, the striker admitted his mistake: "It was a mistake. I understand why the fans are angry. If I were a fan, I'd be angry too."
