Gil Marín slams Barcelona, confirms Atleti’s legal action for Julián Álvarez deal
Atlético Madrid CEO Miguel Ángel Gil Marín has confirmed the club is filing a formal complaint to FIFA against Barcelona for allegedly conducting illegal transfer negotiations with forward Julián Álvarez during a protected contract period.
Atlético Madrid has officially announced its intention to file a formal complaint with FIFA against domestic rivals Barcelona.
The legal action centers on accusations of “tapping up” Argentine forward Julián Álvarez while he remains bound by an active contract running until June 2030.
Atlético management claims Barcelona breached strict sporting rules by holding unlawful discussions behind their back.
The escalation peaked following the 26-year-old striker’s public admission after Argentina’s World Cup clash against Austria, where he openly expressed his desire for a transfer.
Furious with the Catalan club’s operational tactics, Atlético CEO Miguel Ángel Gil Marín fiercely condemned Barcelona for showing disrespect, while adamantly reiterating that the Madrid side has absolutely no intention of selling their star player.
