BUENOS AIRES, Argentina: River Plate have reportedly reached an agreement with Tigres UANL to sign Ángel Correa, with the forward arriving in Argentina before completing the remaining formalities.
Infobae and AS reported on July 23 that negotiations had produced an agreement after several days of uncertainty. An official announcement from either club remained pending.
Reports placed the transfer value between $15 million and $17 million, although neither River Plate nor Tigres had disclosed the financial terms. Correa was expected to complete medical examinations before signing a contract running through 2029.
The latest development follows reports that the transfer had stalled after Tigres altered its demands. Argentine and Mexican media also reported alleged threats against Correa and his family, adding tension to negotiations.
Earlier claims suggested River Plate could approach FIFA or the Court of Arbitration for Sport to challenge Correa’s contract status. However, the supplied report did not identify a confirmed filing by the club.
En Argentina están diciendo que amenazaron de muerte a Ángel Correa y que Tigres volvió a cambiar las condiciones de la negociación.
Las dos cosas son completamente falsas.
TIGRES NUNCA CAMBIÓ LAS CONDICIONES DE LA NEGOCIACIÓN.
SON UN PUTO ASCO LOS ARGENTINOS.…
— TF (@tigresfootball_) July 23, 2026Tigres’ official website continued to list Correa among its first-team forwards, while River Plate’s published squad page had not added him at the time of review. The player should therefore not be described as officially signed until one of the clubs confirms the transfer.
