River in talks with Tigres over Ángel Correa | OneFootball

Although there are still a handful of months left until the winter transfer window, River have already gotten to work to be one of the main players and have been negotiating “slowly but surely” for a big-name forward: Ángel Correa. With Stefano Di Carlo leading the talks with Tigres of Mexico, the club from Núñez has been in discussions for weeks in an attempt to sign the World Cup winner with the Argentina national team starting in July.

Amid the fallout from the negative reactions left by the Superclásico, El Millonario not only began the week with Eduardo Coudet working on mistakes and fine-tuning footballing details, but also with the club’s leadership planning the squad for the second half of the year. In that regard, it emerged that the process has begun to bring in midfielder Mauro Arambarri and the 31-year-old forward, who has been playing in Mexico for a year after his long spell at Atlético Madrid.

What are the chances? The possibility of Correa playing for River in the second half of 2026 is real. First and foremost because the player has given the green light; secondly, because sources at both the Monumental offices and the Mexican giant itself say the talks are moving ahead steadily.

Although Correa has a long-term contract with Tigres — specifically until 2030 — the club has shown a willingness to negotiate with River, although it is clear that it will not be a financially simple deal, since in mid-2025 they bought him from Atlético Madrid for approximately 9 million dollars. Since then, he has played 47 matches, scored 21 goals, and provided eight assists.

Given his current contract, the fact that at 31 he is still in his prime, and that he is a key player, El Millonario will have to spend a significant amount of money to bring him from Mexico and, in addition, pay his hefty salary. Even so, there is optimism from all sides.
