Atlético Madrid Legend Ángel Correa Leaves for Tigres After Decade

Ángel Correa has officially left Atlético de Madrid after ten seasons to join Tigres UANL in Mexico's Liga MX. During his time with Atlético, Correa made 469 appearances, scored 88 goals, and provided 65 assists, contributing significantly to the club's successes including the 2020-21 La Liga title, the 2018 Europa League and Europa Super Cup victories, and the 2016 Champions League final appearance. Known for his impact as a substitute, Correa scored 31 goals and provided 27 assists off the bench, making him a vital player in Diego Simeone's squad. His departure leaves a notable gap in Atlético, with players like Alexander Sorloth and Samuel Lino potential candidates to fill his role, and the club considering further reinforcements such as Ademola Lookman. The transfer fee, reported around 10 million euros, also helps Atlético improve their salary margin. Correa, a World Cup and Copa America winner with Argentina, is regarded as a club legend and will be remembered for his commitment and clutch performances throughout his Atlético career.
