River Plate has Ángel Correa as a priority target for the summer transfer window. According to Juan Patricio Balbi, River Plate will pursue three major signings for the tournament's return in 2026, with Correa of Tigres being highlighted. River Plate has already initiated talks with Correa's representatives, but it is too early to determine the outcome. Correa is described as the main candidate for River, but there is a significant salary gap between what he earns at Tigres and what River Plate can offer. Tigres considers Correa a key player and one of the highest paid in the squad, making his departure to Argentina appear almost impossible.

River Plate is also tracking winger Ángel Correa from Tigres as part of a strategy to reinforce the squad for the new season. Olé reports that more concrete approaches have also been made for the remaining targets.

River Plate wants to sign 31-year-old Argentinian second striker Ángel Correa from Tigres. Ángel Correa is the world champion, has the second highest salary among the Tigres players, and is under contract until 2030. The report questions whether River Plate can at least match his current salary. Correa, who has 28 caps and 3 goals for Argentina, has a current market value of €9.00m, according to Transfermarkt. This season, he has scored a combined 13 goals and provided 8 assists across all domestic league competitions for Tigres.
