The negotiation was resolved after several days of talks between River Plate and Tigres, who managed to finalize the last economic details. According to information revealed by César Luis Merlo and confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, the forward will travel to undergo a medical check-up before formalizing his incorporation.

Correa will end a one-season spell in Mexican football. With Tigres, he played 54 matches, scored 23 goals, and provided 13 assists, figures that captured River's interest in reinforcing their attack for the second half of the year.

The forward will return to Argentine football more than a decade after leaving San Lorenzo to begin his European career. Before his time in Mexico, the Argentine international wore Atlético de Madrid's shirt for eleven seasons, accumulating 469 appearances and 88 goals, in addition to winning various national and international titles.

The agreement between River Plate and Tigres includes a total package of 17 million dollars, making the transfer one of the most significant in the Mexican team's history. The amount consists of a fixed sum and variables linked to achieving sporting goals.

During the negotiation, differences arose between both clubs regarding the final conditions of the transfer, but discussions were revived in the last hours until reaching a definitive understanding. The forward had expressed his desire to return to Argentina, a factor that eased the conclusion of the operation.

Correa will sign a contract until June 2029, ensuring his continuity at River Plate for the next three seasons. The Argentine club thus adds a footballer with experience in European competitions, World Cups, and Copa América.
