After a remarkable decade at Atlético Madrid, Argentine forward Ángel “Angelito” Correa is on the verge of completing a move to Mexican giants Tigres UANL, signaling the end of a significant chapter in his career.
Correa, who joined Atlético in 2014, has been a loyal servant to the club and a consistent fan favorite, thanks to his flair, technical brilliance, and knack for scoring crucial goals. Over the course of nine seasons, he made more than 400 appearances across all competitions, contributing significantly in La Liga, the UEFA Champions League, and various domestic tournaments. His efforts were instrumental in Atlético’s 2020–21 La Liga title triumph, one of the highlights of his tenure in Madrid.
At 29, Correa is now preparing for a new challenge in Liga MX with Tigres, a club renowned for its ambition and success in Mexican football. The move not only offers a fresh start for the Argentine forward but also represents a major coup for Tigres, who continue to bolster their squad as they aim to remain at the pinnacle of the Mexican league.
Correa’s departure marks the end of an era at the Wanda Metropolitano, but his legacy as a dependable and dynamic attacker will undoubtedly endure among Atlético supporters.
