River in talks with Tigres over Ángel Correa | OneFootball

Although there are still a handful of months left before the winter transfer window, River have already gotten to work to be one of the main players in the market and have been negotiating “slowly but surely” for a high-profile 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 reaction left by the Superclásico, El Millonario not only began the week with Eduardo Coudet ironing out 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; second, because both the Monumental’s offices and the Mexican giant itself say the talks are moving forward steadily.

Although Correa has a long-term contract with Tigres — specifically until 2030 — the club has shown a willingness to negotiate his transfer to River, although it is clear that it will not be a simple deal financially, 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 deal, 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 take him out of Mexico and, in addition, pay his hefty salary. Even so, all parties are optimistic.
