The Al-Ittihad of the Saudi Pro League has once again set its sights on Ángel Correa, with the intention of adding him to their squad in the upcoming winter transfer market. At 29 years old, the Argentine forward from Atlético Madrid is under contract until 2026, but the possibility of a change of scenery is not ruled out, especially if the Saudi team guarantees him a leading role and a tempting economic offer.
Currently, Al-Ittihad is in full competitive expansion and aims to strengthen its squad with quality players to challenge Al Hilal in the fight for the Saudi league title. The team already boasts prominent names like Danilo Pereira, Fabinho, N’Golo Kanté, and Moussa Diaby, all with experience in top-tier leagues. Correa, on the other hand, would bring a dynamic and versatile offensive profile, traits that have earned him recognition in La Liga and could be key to the goals of his potential new club.
Ángel Correa, increasingly a substitute at Atlético
At Atlético Madrid, Correa has had a discreet start to the season, scoring just two goals in thirteen matches, most of them coming off the bench. The recent additions of forwards like Sorloth and Julián Álvarez have reduced his minutes in Diego Simeone's scheme, a factor that could facilitate his departure in search of a more relevant role.
The opportunity for a signing with Al-Ittihad presents an interesting prospect for Correa, who would see the chance to join a growing project in Saudi football. This move would also reinforce Al-Ittihad's strategy of attracting international figures to establish themselves as one of the strongest teams in the region.
