The RFEF has initiated a disciplinary investigation into Barcelona following Atlético Madrid’s complaint about improper approaches to striker Julián Álvarez, who is under contract until 2030. Atlético accuses Barcelona of harassment and has filed a formal complaint, citing comments made by Álvarez during the World Cup indicating his desire for a transfer. Potential sanctions for Barcelona include financial penalties, point deductions, or bans on player registrations, while Álvarez could face a match suspension. Barcelona believes the case lacks substance, asserting they followed proper procedures and await Álvarez’s actions on August 10 to gauge the situation’s direction.
