Angel Correa, the 31-year-old Argentine forward and 2022 World Cup winner, is making a significant return to his home country, officially joining River Plate. This move follows a season in Mexico with Tigres UANL. Before his brief stint in Mexican football, Correa enjoyed a highly successful decade-long career at Atlético de Madrid.

Under coach Diego Simeone, he made 469 appearances, scoring 88 goals and securing multiple major trophies, including the La Liga title in 2021, the Europa League in 2018, and the UEFA Super Cup in the same year. His tenure with Tigres concluded with a defeat in the CONCACAF Champions Cup final against Toluca, a match that also marked André-Pierre Gignac's final appearance for the Mexican club. Correa now aims to contribute his vast experience and winning pedigree to River Plate, one of South America's most prestigious clubs.
