'Tapping up' as it has become known - the action of a club speaking to a player in an attempt to persuade them to join them while the player is under contract elsewhere - is frowned upon in the world of football and in some cases clubs can be punished.

"FC Barcelona expresses its objections in the face of these events and reiterates its full respect for the institution of Atlético Madrid."
