Overview
- River and Ángel Correa agreed in principle to personal terms on Thursday, with the club offering a long-term contract and a salary reported to match his roughly $4 million-a-year pay in Mexico.
- The transfer is stalled at the club level because Tigres is asking near $14 million while River’s opening bid is reported at about $10 million, leaving a sizable valuation gap.
- Correa is said to be receptive to returning to Argentina and fits Eduardo Coudet’s plan for reinforcements ahead of the Copa Sudamericana, Torneo Clausura and Copa Argentina.
- Tigres paid about $9.5 million for Correa last year and insists on a significant profit, which helps explain its $14 million asking price and the current hardness of talks.
- Negotiations between the clubs are ongoing and sources say the coming meetings and hours will be decisive for whether River raises its offer or the clubs find another compromise.
