RFEF Fines Barcelona €602 Over Unauthorised Contacts with Julian Alvarez

The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has sanctioned FC Barcelona following the summer transfer speculation surrounding Julian Alvarez, according to *AS*. The Catalan club has been handed a symbolic fine of €602 for communicating with the player without proper authorization.

The penalty is based on Article 133 of the RFEF general regulations. Meanwhile, the Argentine forward has been gradually working his way back into Diego Simeone's side, contributing two goals and two assists in nine matches as he looks to win back the supporters' backing.
