Superlider ·5 de June 2026 The rumors about a possible departure of Angel Correa to River Plate have gained strength in the last hours from Argentina. However, in Tigres the position is clear: the world champion is not for sale and is a fundamental part of the sports project of the institution for the next years. Various Argentine media assured that the forward would have held meetings with people close to the environment of River Plate and even that the coach Eduardo Coudet would have convinced him to wear the jersey of the millionaire team. Nevertheless, from the club deny categorically any advance in a possible negotiation. Sources close to the felina board revealed that there is annoyance at the way these versions have emerged, especially because the player maintains a valid contract with the institution until 2030. The position of the club headed by Carlos Emilio González is firm. Angel Correa is considered one of the central pieces of the sports project and there is no intention to listen to offers from River Plate or any other interested team. According to information close to the university environment, the only way for a departure would be the full payment of the release clause, which is around $15 million. "If River Plate wants Angel Correa and the player wants to leave, they have to pay the clause. There is no other scenario", sources consulted said. In addition, within the institution they emphasize that there will be no negotiations to reduce that amount or facilitate a transfer. Another aspect that brings tranquility to the auriazul board is the position of the player himself. According to the same sources, both Correa and his representative have denied any meeting or approach with members of River Plate. From the environment of the striker they assure that there was no supposed meeting with Eduardo Coudet that some Argentine media reported during the last days. Therefore, in Tigres they consider that the information is part of a common media strategy in South American football to try to bring players to certain clubs. Beyond the rumors, the numbers support the importance of Angel Correa within the university project. During the 2025-2026 season, he played 54 official matches between all competitions, scoring 23 goals and 13 assists. His performance was decisive for Tigres to reach the Final of the Apertura 2025 and the Final of the Concacaf Champions Cup 2026, both defined in favor of Toluca from the penalty shootout. Therefore, the board considers the Argentine as an indispensable footballer for the immediate future of the team and maintains full confidence that he will continue to defend the auriazul colors in the coming seasons. Meanwhile, in San Nicolás they take calmly the versions that arrive from Argentina. The position is firm: Angel Correa has a contract, wants to stay in Tigres and only a full payment of the release clause could change that scenario.
