⚖️Over JULIÁN: Atleti lodge official FIFA complaint against Barça

The conflict between the two giants of Spanish football has escalated to an institutional level. Atlético de Madrid issued an official statement confirming that it will formally report FC Barcelona to FIFA, following incompatible negotiations carried out by Argentine forward Julián Álvarez.


Strong words from the Colchonero board

The person in charge of announcing the drastic measure was the CEO of the red-and-white institution, Miguel Ángel Gil Marín. The executive justified the legal filing by arguing the need to enforce the transfer regulations of world football’s governing body.

“Our responsibility is to defend Atlético’s interests, and that is why we are going to file a complaint with FIFA against Barcelona for negotiating with a player under an active contract during the protected period,” the CEO stated.

Total tension in LaLiga

With this confirmation, the Madrid club is seeking to set a precedent and put a stop to the actions of the Blaugrana board, accused of contacting the Córdoba-born attacker directly. The case promises to open a major legal battle in the offices of Zurich.
