With the Club World Cup just around the corner, teams are already starting to move their pieces with the intention of assembling the best possible squad. In that scenario, River would be preparing a coup, with the aim of adding a player of international stature.
The mini transfer market enabled by FIFA would allow Marcelo Gallardo to assemble a competitive and high-level squad, and his main objective would be a forward with experience and outstanding technical skills. Thus, to a base that includes names like Germán Pezzella, Gonzalo Montiel, Marcos Acuña, and Franco Armani, El Muñeco would seek to add one more figure: Ángel Correa.
The striker, who emerged from San Lorenzo, had already been on the club's radar in previous transfer markets, although without success. This time, however, the context is different, as the 30-year-old from Rosario would be open to leaving the Colchonero, which reactivated Gallardo's interest, who reportedly acted quickly to position River in the negotiation.
According to Relevo, in recent hours the Núñez club would have contacted Correa's entourage to express their intention to add him for the second half of the year, with the Club World Cup as the main goal.
However, the operation would not be simple. For some time, Correa has been in advanced talks with Tigres of Mexico, and according to the Spanish media, there would already be an agreement between the player and the Aztec institution, although the clubs still need to reach an understanding.
