Inter Milan forward Joaquin Correa has turned down a move to Estudiantes, as he wants to stay in a top European league.
This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInter1908.
Correa is now three years into his time as an Inter player.
The Nerazzurri signed the Argentine three years ago from Lazio. He arrived on a four-year deal in the summer of 2021.
Inter spent big to sign Correa, who was an attacking reinforcement after Romelu Lukaku’s sale to Chelsea.
However, the former Sevilla and Sampdoria forward was never able to produce his best form in an Inter shirt.
Last season, Correa was on loan at Marseille. He failed to score or assist a goal, or gain a starting spot at the Ligue 1 club.
Correa’s contract runs out at the end of next June. There would be no prospect for another loan away – Inter must sell him once and for all.
It is not as though there has been zero interest in the Argentine’s signature.
River Plate are keen on bringing the 29-year-old back to his home country Argentina.
There has been interest from Turkish giants Fenerbahce and Galatasaray. As there has been from the Saudi Pro League.
Then, two of Correa’s former clubs have sounded out a surprise return in the form of Lazio and Sevilla.
And recent rumours have also linked the out-of-favour Inter forward with Monza and Real Betis.
Then, there are also AEK Athens pushing to sign Correa this summer.
According to the Gazzetta, Estudiantes have joined River in trying to sign Correa back to his home country. They are the Inter forward’s first professional club.
But according to the newspaper, Correa is not interested in an Estudiantes return.
The 29-year-old still believes that he can make an impact in a top European league, and that is his hope.
