River Plate Renews Bid for Tigres' Ángel Correa as It Eyes Lucas Ocampos

Reports describe early talks limited by Tigres' $30 million clause.

Overview

  • Regional outlets report River Plate has revived its pursuit of Ángel Correa, the Argentine forward who has become a key figure at Tigres UANL.
  • Tigres is portrayed as unwilling to sell, with coverage citing a contract through 2030 and a release clause near $30 million that prices River out for now.
  • Correa’s form underpins the interest, with five goals and four assists in 14 Clausura matches and 21 goals since his 2025 move to Mexico.
  • As it weighs that cost, River has contacted Monterrey about Lucas Ocampos as a potential mid‑year addition from its academy ranks.
  • Reports note Ocampos has about a year left on his Rayados deal, has struggled for goals this season, and has clashed with fans, factors that could lower Monterrey’s demands as River continues a recent tilt toward recruiting from Liga MX.
