From the source
La Liga champions Barcelona have on Tuesday been sanctioned by the Spanish Football Association for their summer approach for Atlético Madrid star Julián Alvarez. The extent of the fine, though, has since given rise to widespread criticism across the Spanish football landscape.
Barcelona of course spent the bulk of this past summer’s transfer window working to bring frontman Alvarez to Catalunya’s capital. After bidding farewell to Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres, the Blaugrana identified the Argentine as the ideal addition to Hansi Flick’s attacking ranks.
Barca president Joan Laporta was not at all shy in making public the intentions of the Catalans to bring Alvarez in, a tactic deemed highly disrespectful by those in a position of power at the Metropolitano.
