Atletico Madrid has stated that Angel Correa has left for another year on his contract with the club, in the midst of big question marks about his future. The Argentina International seemed to say goodbye to the Metropolitano and the fans on Sunday in Atletico's last home game of the season, but Los Rojiblancos has noticed that there is nothing for him to leave the club.
Coming from the bank and score in the stop time, on typical Correa way, it was an emotional opportunity when he played a 4-1 win over Real Betis on Sunday. Correa, who has been in Atletico for ten years, and scored their final goal in the Estadio Vicenton Calderon before their move to the Metropolitano, is a hero at Atletico for his contributions from the bank.
Correa was strongly connected to an exit this summer, and that departure seemed to be confirmed when Correa was seen in tears and the fans greeted on Sunday after the game, with a vintage number 10 Atletico shirt. That seemed to talk about an exit this summer.
On Monday morning, Atletico released a club statement with denial that an exit was imminent, and noted that while things were standing, had not put a club for him. Read the statement as follows.
No club has approached our entity to start negotiations for the rush hour
In view of the doubts at the end of yesterday's game against real betis in the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, the club wants to clarify that Angel Correa currently has a contract with Atletico Madrid until 30 June 2026. No club has contacted us to start negotiations for a possible transfer of our attacker, nor has one offer for one offer.
Angel Correa came to Atletico Madrid in December 2014 and has since made 465 official performances and became the sixth most covered player in the history of the club. He also scored 88 goals in these competitions. A brilliant career that the club will fully recognize when the player's contract ends or if a transfer to another club arises.
Correa himself said goodbye to his social media and said: “Today I experienced my last game at home in the shirt that I love so much. It was not just another day, it was an accumulation of memories, emotions and gratitude. Thanks to the club, my teammates, and this incredible fan base, which always has me as one of them. For so many!”
Correa is strongly connected to an exit, with Tigres in Mexico apparently close to an agreement on conditions with him. There is also an agreement with Atletico, but they have made it clear that this is not the case. It is said that he is enthusiastic about a step for more playing time, while trying to secure a place in the World Cup team of Argentina 2026.
