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 high-profile striker: Ángel Correa. With Stefano Di Carlo leading the talks with Mexico’s Tigres, 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 football-related details, but also from the executive side in planning the squad for the second half of the year. In that regard, it emerged that the operation 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, has begun.

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 gave the green light; second, because both the Monumental offices and the Mexican giant itself say the talks are moving forward steadily.

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

Considering 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 bring him out of Mexico and, on top of that, pay his hefty salary. Even so, all parties are optimistic.
