River has already started planning the next pass market and has a big name in his portfolio: Ángel Correa. The world champion striker with the Argentine national team is one of those set to reinforce the attack for the second half of the year
.
The management, led by Stéfano Di Carlo, seeks to give a qualitative leap to the squad led by Eduardo Coudet and evaluates different options for the forward. In this context, the name Correa appears as an alternative hierarchy, along with other surnames such as Giovanni
Simeone.
The 31-year-old attacker currently plays for Tigres UANL, where he arrived in 2025 after an extensive stint with Atlético de Madrid. Since then, it has established itself as a key part of the Mexican team, making any negotiation difficult
. Correa has been daring a good present at Tigres
For now, Núñez has only conducted informal surveys to find out about their situation. The main obstacle is its contract valid until 2030 with the Aztec group, which invested close to 10 million euros for its token. In addition, another possible obstacle would be the salary, since he currently receives about 4 million dollars, a high amount, but which the Millionaire could face to try to
convince him.
This isn't the first time River has been interested in the former San Lorenzo. During the Marcelo Gallardo cycle, he had already been closely followed, although no progress was ever made to a specific offer. At the time, the soccer player himself had left the door open, although without formal contacts
.
With time ahead thanks to the schedule and the World Cup stand-off, River will continue to evaluate alternatives to strengthen its squad. The arrival of Correa, by hierarchy and current situation, appears to be an ambitious objective, although conditioned by economic and contractual issues

Correa's numbers in Tigres
Since his arrival in mid-2025, the Rosario striker played 3,646 minutes with the Mexican club, spread over 43 games, in which he scored 19 goals
