Ángel Correa has broken his silence in the face of growing rumours linking him with a possible move to River Plate . After the 2-2 draw between Atlético and Villarreal on matchday one, Correa flatly denied speculation about his future. "I heard something, but no. I'm very happy at this club and working to improve, as always," said the striker, sending a direct message to Gil Marín .
Correa , who has been a key part of Simeone's team for several seasons, has been at the centre of media attention in recent weeks. Rumours about his possible return to River Plate had gained strength, especially after the arrival of Marcelo Gallardo again to the bench of the millionaire club. However, the player himself has cleared up any doubts about his commitment to Atlético, ensuring that his focus is on continuing to contribute to the club.
Correa reaffirms his commitment to Atlético de Madrid
Ángel Correa has not only been clear about his immediate future, but has also taken the opportunity to reaffirm his commitment to Atlético. After almost a decade in red and white, the striker has earned the respect of both Simeone and the fans for his ability to adapt to different roles. His performance has been consistent, and although he has gone through ups and downs in terms of minutes on the pitch, Correa has always been a reliable option for Cholo.
Correa has had some great moments at Atlético, from winning LaLiga to making decisive appearances in European competitions. However, rumours about his possible departure have never really ceased. Last season, the arrival of new signings such as Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sorloth led to speculation about a possible reduction in his role. But, far from being carried away by doubts, Correa has shown a positive attitude and his desire to continue fighting for a place in Simeone's starting eleven.
Gil Marín, who plays a key role in Atlético's market decisions, has already been informed by Correa of his decision. The Argentine forward wants to continue being part of the red-and-white project, and his denial of a possible move to River Plate makes that clear. "I am very happy at this club," Correa reiterated, stressing that there are no plans to return to Argentina in the short term.
Atlético de Madrid and the importance of Correa in the squad
For Atletico Madrid, keeping players like Angel Correa is essential to maintaining depth and versatility in the squad. Correa has proven to be a player capable of adapting to different positions in attack, something that Simeone has valued over the years. His ability to perform as a centre forward, a second striker or even on the wings makes him a valuable piece within the team.
With the recent arrival of Julián Álvarez and the presence of stars such as Antoine Griezmann, competition in the Atlético attack is fierce. However, Correa has made it clear that he is willing to continue fighting for his place, knowing that his experience and quality can make the difference.
