Atlético Madrid star’s departure confirmed | OneFootball

La Liga giants Atlético Madrid are primed to bid farewell to a long-time member of the club’s attacking ranks over the days ahead.

That’s according to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, who points towards Ángel Correa as the player in question.

Frontman Correa has of course long seen his name take its place centre stage in the media chatter in Spain’s capital.

This comes with the Argentine, fresh off another season as a ‘super sub’ in Diego Simeone’s squad, having been attracting mounting interest from clubs across the globe.

Correa came close to sealing an Atlético departure during the January transfer window, only for a move to Saudi Arabia to fall through at the last minute.

As alluded to above, though, this time round, the 30-year-old’s exit will come to fruition.

As per a report from Fabrizio Romano, citing journalist César Luis Merlo:

‘Ángel Correa to Tigres, here we go! Deal confirmed for the forward to leave Atlético Madrid and move to Mexico. After talks at advanced stages in May, deal now done and five year contract for Correa.’
