Barcelona fined for tapping up Arsenal transfer target
Story updated
The story in brief
6-second readBarcelona have been fined for their pursuit of Arsenal target and Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez, but the sanction is a minor one.
Rumour · This claim is unconfirmed.
From the source
Atletico Madrid accused Barcelona earlier this year of approaching Julian Alvarez without first notifying them in writing, and the BBC report that the Spanish FA have decided to issue a fine.
The RFEF have reportedly confirmed that Barcelona have been sanctioned for a minor breach of the federation’s disciplinary guidelines, though Barcelona intend to appeal. Yet the actual fine is for just €602 (£504), a very small punishment for a club of Barcelona’s size.
Fines for minor charges such as this are capped at €602, so that’s why the amount isn’t higher. Given the minimal financial impact the fine will have, it’s pretty clear the case is more about the principle.
