Correa: A Past of Struggle, a Red and White Present, and an Uncertain Future
Ángel Correa, a living legend of Atlético, with 461 matches under his belt, has given an emotional interview where he reviews his difficult childhood. The Argentine forward, a benchmark for the Red and White fans, shared the most difficult moments he lived with his family in Rosario, marked by scarcity and the daily struggle for survival.
Correa recalls with humility how, together with his mother and siblings, they had to find ways to get some food, even begging in the street or selling roses. Despite the difficulties, he emphasizes that they always found happiness in the little they had.
This past of overcoming is the engine that drives Correa in every game, an extra motivation that allows him to value even more the present he lives in the Metropolitano. Now, at 30 years old and close to completing his tenth season as an Atlético player, Correa’s future is uncertain.
His desire to play in the 2026 World Cup leads him to seek continuity, which could open the door to a departure in the next transfer market. Several clubs, such as Tigres, River, and other European teams, have shown interest in acquiring his services, while Atlético would be willing to negotiate his transfer for a figure close to 20 million euros. Whatever his destiny, Correa will always be remembered as an example of perseverance and a key player in the club’s recent history.
