At the request of coach Marcelo Gallardo, River Plate is targeting 31-year-old Argentinian forward Joaquín Correa. The Argentine club has inquired with Botafogo about the player's situation. Correa joined the Rio de Janeiro club on a free transfer from Internazionale de Milão after a renewal agreement was not reached, and his contract runs until the end of 2027. While there is not yet an official proposal from River Plate, Botafogo is interested in hearing the conditions, and talks are ongoing. The forward has 19 caps and 4 goals for Argentina. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €3.00m. São Paulo has also recently been linked with the player.
