🐯 Mauricio Culebro speaks out on Ángel Correa | OneFootball

The president of Tigres UANL acknowledged that there is interest in signing the 30-year-old Argentine player who has left Atlético de Madrid.

It is becoming increasingly evident that Tigres UANL is undergoing a process of sports reconstruction and, while working on contract renewals such as those of André-Pierre Gignac and Nahuel Guzmán, among others, they are also aiming to add quality reinforcements.

In this context, President Mauricio Culebro admitted that the Argentine forward Ángel Correa is one of the options that the Nuevo León team has on their list to strengthen the squad for the Apertura 2025 Tournament.

"Ángel Correa is a name that has been mentioned, but just as we have Ángel, we have many others. He is a very interesting player, but we also have a list of several players," Culebro commented to the Mexican press.

"The important thing is to make the best decision, not to bring players just for the sake of it, but to look for players who will fulfill what we are looking for in very specific positions and always aiming for them to stay for a long time, always thinking that the players want to come and that it is their priority to come to Tigres. That is very important," added the top executive.

Correa, world champion with Argentina in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, has left Atlético Madrid after a decade in which he has won LaLiga, a UEFA Europa League, and a UEFA Super Cup.

When asked about the renewals of key players like Nahuel Guzmán and André-Pierre Gignac, Mauricio Culebro did not want to give dates but expressed confidence that there will soon be news about both.

The squad reported this Monday for the start of preseason, with physical and medical exams under the orders of Guido Pizarro, a former key player and captain of the club who has taken the helm as head coach with the intention of remaining competitive.
