Sport · Transfer disciplineBarcelona Alvarez fine: €602 penalty over contact before written noticeGeschreven 29 oktober 2026 om 07:56 UTCKijkenTranscript0:07Barcelona faces a six hundred two euro fine for approaching Julian Alvarez.0:11Ataiko paid up to ninety five million euros for him, and Barcelona plans to appeal0:16on principle.0:16Can it overturn the finding that it contacted his agent before giving Attico written0:20notice?0:21The Spanish Football Federation's disciplinary committee imposed the sanction.0:24Attico also complained to FIFA, which said it lacked jurisdiction over the case.0:29The domestic committee went ahead and punished Barcelona.0:31Afres remains under contract until June2030 .0:35He joined Attico from Manchester City in August2020, four on a six-year deal.0:40His contract includes a reported five hundred million euro release clause.0:43Barcelona and Attico never reached a transfer agreement.0:47The committee found that Deco, Barcelona's sporting director, spoke to Agent0:50Fernando Hidalgo on May fifteenth.0:52A May eighteenth message concerned Attico's valuation.0:55Barcelona's first written communication to Attico came on May twenty-eight, thirteen0:59days after the conversation.1:01Hidalgo told Deco that Attico would listen to offers.1:05He also said he had permission to market.1:07Elvarez and negotiated departure under certain conditions.1:10The committee found that the claimed authorization hadn't been demonstrated.1:13It concluded that Barcelona was already working through the agent toward a possible1:17signing before directly notifying Atteco in writing.1:20At Tycho, Chief Executive Miguel Angel Gilmar and had sent Hidalgo a message1:24confirming the club's valuation.1:25The committee found that it gave the agent price information.1:28It didn't give him authority to negotiate a transfer on Attiko's behalf.1:32Barcelona maintains that it behaved properly and directly informed Attiko of its1:36interest.1:37Its challenge concerns that disciplinary finding rather than the club's ability to1:41afford the fine.1:42But the committee's chronology puts the agent conversation before the first written1:45notice.1:46An agent's assurance that a player is available couldn't supply that advance notice.1:50Attiko's complaint is dated June thirty in one account and July in others.1:54The precise filing date is disputed.1:56Both place the complaint after the May contacts at the center of the sanction.2:00The committee treated Barcelona's conduct as a minor infringement under Article One2:04Hundred Thirty-Tree.2:05It found that the awareness and.2:07Especially repetition required for a serious offense under Article93 hadn't been2:11shown.2:11Atiko had also complained about negotiations during the contract's protective2:14period.2:15That protection depends on a player's age when signing.2:18For players aged twenty-three to twenty-eight, it was described as three full2:22seasons or three years.2:23The sanction imposed here turns on the failure to give advance written notice.2:27The provisions quoted financial ceiling is six hundred and two euros, exactly the2:31fine imposed.2:32It also allows disqualification or suspension for up to two months or at least two2:36matches, or stadium closure for up to one match, depending on the disciplinary2:40body's decision.2:41Barcelona received the financial penalty.2:43Those other options belong to the rules range of punishments.2:46Article one hundred thirty-three covers failures to follow federation orders.2:49Instructions, agreements or regulatory obligations outside the categories of serious2:54and very serious offenses.2:55Barcelona received a three hundred euro fine on September twenty-sixth, two thousand2:59and nineteen, after Attiko complained about negotiations for Antoine Griezmann while3:03he was under contract.3:04The Competition Committee applied the then Article One Hundred Twenty-six.3:07Which also carried a six hundred and two euro financial ceiling.3:10Atico's complaint concerned negotiations in March.3:13Investigating Judge Juan Antonio Landabarea Anzueta proposed closing Camp New as3:17well as a financial penalty.3:19The committee rejected closure because the evidence didn't justify a measure of that3:22gravity.3:23It also considered stadium closure suited to offenses of a different kind.3:27The committee found no disciplinary liability for Griezmann because it couldn't show3:31he'd signed during the prohibited period.3:33It explicitly acknowledged that the three hundred euro payment was symbolic and3:36unlikely to persuade Barcelona or other clubs in comparable circumstances to follow3:40the rules.3:41Atico had ten days to appeal that two thousand and nineteen decision.3:45Seven years later, the current fine again puts a penalty measured in hundreds beside3:49a player acquired for tens of millions.3:51Alvarez has faced a different cost with his own supporters.3:55During an interview at the two thousand and twenty-six World Cup, he said he wanted3:58to fulfill his dream of playing for Barcelona.4:01The dispute stretched through the summer transfer window, and Atico fans frequently4:04booed him during the season.4:06Alvarez later apologized for expressing that wish.4:08He said, It was a mistake.4:10I understand why the fans are angry.4:12If I were a fan, I'd be angry too, especially given how they've supported me since I4:16arrived.4:17Elvarez scored at Tico's winner against Deportivo La Coru on October24 , his4:23second consecutive match with a goal.4:24Sections of the crowd gave him a standing ovation.4:27The victory moved Diego Simeone's side within two points of League Leaders4:30Barcelona.4:31By October27 :20,8 Varez had scored fifty, one goals in115 At Tico appearances at4:37Manchester City.4:37He'd scored thirty-six in one hundred and three matches.4:40His apology addressed his public wish to join Barcelona.4:42The disciplinary finding concerns the club's approach through his representative.4:46Barcelona has a ten-day window to challenge the sanction before the Federation's4:50Appeals Committee.4:51The notification date needed to calculate the exact deadline hasn't been made clear.4:55Barcelona plans to appeal, but a filing hasn't been confirmed.4:58An appeal would test the committee's finding that Barcelona's approach preceded the5:01required written notice.5:03The six hundred and two euro sanction stands, and Barcelona's stated refusal to pay5:06doesn't itself suspend it.5:07A Suarez remains at Tico's player, under contract until June2030 .Lees het artikelTijdlijn van het verhaalHeyDex
