Barcelona Fined by Spanish FA for Unauthorized Contact with Julian Alvarez
FC Barcelona was fined 602 euros by the Spanish Football Federation after Atletico Madrid complained about unauthorized contact with striker Julian Alvarez, whose contract runs until 2030. The fine followed Atletico's claim that Barcelona approached Alvarez without prior written consent, violating federation rules. FIFA declined jurisdiction over the case. Alvarez, who had expressed a desire to join Barcelona, apologized to Atletico fans for his comments and scored the winning goal in a recent match, signaling efforts to mend relations with supporters.
