Botafogo To Seal Transfer Of Out-Of-Contract Inter Milan Star In Time For FIFA Club World Cup | OneFootball

Botafogo are ready to seal the transfer of Joaquin Correa from Inter Milan in time for the FIFA Club World Cup.

This according to Sky Sport Italia transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio. He reported on air, via FCInterNews, that everything is in place for the 30-year-old to make the move.

Joaquin Correa has come to a four-year stint at Inter Milan.

The Argentine joined the Nerazzurri from Lazio in the summer of 2021.

Correa joined right at the end of the transfer window. He made an immediate impact, coming off the bench to score a match-winning brace in a 3-1 win away to Hellas Verona.

However after that, Correa’s performances for Inter were deeply underwhelming.

In the summer of 2023, after two disappointing seasons at the club, Inter loaned Correa out to Marseille.

However, the Argentine’s form was little better for the Ligue 1 club than it had been at the San Siro.

Correa returned to Inter last summer. And despite numerous links away, he ended up seeing out his contract at the club.

Correa scored two goals and made two assists across twelve appearances in Serie A in his final season at the Nerazzurri.

Technically speaking, Correa’s contract with Inter runs out at the end of June. But the Nerazzurri will release him a few weeks early from his deal.

This will allow the former Lazio and Sevilla forward to join Brazilian club Botafogo.

Gianluca Di Marzio reports that the Brazilian giants will be able to complete the signing of Correa before the pre-Club World Cup transfer window closes.

Therefore, the Argentine can be a part of Botafogo’s squad for that tournament.
