Atletico Accuses Barcelona of Transfer Tampering
23 Jun
Summary
- Atletico Madrid files FIFA complaint against FC Barcelona.
- Accusation: Barcelona improperly negotiated with Julián Álvarez.
- Atletico claims Barcelona repeatedly breaks transfer regulations.
Atlético Madrid is set to file a formal complaint with FIFA against FC Barcelona, escalating an institutional scandal within Spanish football. The core of the accusation involves Barcelona allegedly negotiating directly with Argentine striker Julián Álvarez without proper club-to-club contact.
Atlético Madrid describes Barcelona as a "cheating club" that systematically disregards FIFA's transfer regulations. Sources indicate this is not the first time Barcelona has faced such allegations, with similar tactics reportedly employed in past dealings for players like Antoine Griezmann and Nico Williams.
This legal action by Atlético Madrid is anticipated to completely rupture the existing diplomatic ties between the two prominent LaLiga clubs. Atlético aims for FIFA to impose significant sanctions on Barcelona for their alleged direct contact with the player, bypassing the clubs holding his registration.
