Atletico Madrid has set their priority goals for the summer transfer window, but will also have to cover this summer before departure. The will of Axel Witsel, Cesar Azpilicueta and Reinildo Mandava will all leave the club at the end of the club World Cup, and Angel Correa could follow them out.
Correa was almost left in January with an offer from Saudi Arabia, but the two parties could not agree. Rumors about his future, however, came up again in March, whereby Correa is said to have a move to the Mexican side Tigres. Atletico Madrid then publicly denied every agreement with another club in May.
After a decade at the club, it seems that Correa is on its way. So much became clear because of his tears and farewell to the Metropolitano on the last day of the season, and Marca now says that an offer has arrived and the clubs are in conversation to match a deal. Correa has a five-year-old deal on the table and is looking for a guaranteed starting place to hold its place in the Argentina World Cup next year.
Fabrizio Romano goes one step further and says that a deal has already been agreed between Tigres and Atletico.
Los Colchoneros has had time to prepare for his exit and have discovered who they believe that Correa's replacement in Brazil is. Diario as a report that Atletico will move to Corinthians Yuri Alberto, 24, after first contacts in mid -April. They will come back in contact with the Brazilian after the club of Club.
AS Roma and Everton also follow Alberto, but Atletico has a small advantage in the race, with its price tag at around € 20 million.
Atletico is of the opinion that Alberto is for money, quality and has room to grow, which is why it fits in with the account for Los Colchoneros. This season, together with former player Memphis Depay, Alberto has scored 13 goals and gave an assist in 35 performances for the Brazilian giants. He made his Brazilian debut in 2023 and has already made 308 performances (110 goals, 29 assists) in his career and played for four different teams. That included a short spell in 2021-22 in Zenit St. Petersburg.
Alberto has a contract until 2027, and Globo Esporte reports that Corinthians have promised Memphis that they will make an attempt to keep Alberto.
