Atlético de Madrid are in the midst of a makeover of their squad . One of the players affected by these changes is Ángel Correa. Despite his consistency and versatility, he has not managed to establish himself as an undisputed starter under Diego Simeone.
With the arrival of Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sorloth, the competition in attack has become fierce. In addition, the resurgence of players such as Lemar and Samuel Lino has further complicated the outlook for Correa. All signs point to his time at Atlético coming to an end.
The emergence of Julian Alvarez
The signing of Julián Álvarez has been key to Correa's situation . Álvarez, who has shown his quality in the Argentine national team and in Europe, has quickly earned a place in the team. His youth, skill and versatility make him a safe bet for the future of Atlético de Madrid.
Correa, on the other hand, has been relegated to a secondary role. Although his numbers have always been good, he has not managed to remain among 'Cholo's' favourites. This competition has pushed the Rosario native to look for a way out.
Besiktas interested in Correa
Given this situation, Besiktas has shown interest in signing Correa. The Turkish club sees the Argentine as an opportunity to strengthen its attack. With contacts already initiated, Besiktas is betting on a loan with an option to buy to complete the signing.
Atletico Madrid are not willing to let Correa go without making a financial profit. The club has set a price of 20 million euros, although it could be reduced if negotiations drag on until the end of the transfer window.
Uncertain future
Correa has rejected offers from Saudi Arabia, demonstrating his desire to continue competing in Europe. Besiktas' interest is strong, and the Argentine is seriously considering this option. However, it remains to be seen whether a deal will be struck that satisfies all parties.
Atlético are looking to cash in, while Correa is looking for playing time that he cannot afford to miss in Madrid. The next few weeks will be decisive in determining his future.
