The slow decline continues for Joaquin Correa. Arrived last summer at OM in the form of a loan, the Argentinian international has never confirmed the hopes placed in him by the OM leaders, while he had just come out of a Champions League final with Inter Milan. Under the orders of Marcelino, as well as Gattuso or Gasset, the 29-year-old winger has never established himself as a full-fledged starter, participating in only 682 minutes, spread over 19 matches (0 goals).
Logically, OM politely declined the possibility of exercising the player’s purchase option, set at 13 million euros, and let Correa turn back to Inter, where he remains under contract until June 2025. But clearly, the Nerazzurri do not intend to go that far, and are considering finding a way out for the Argentinian international (19 caps, 4 goals). A perilous mission…
He refuses all offers
As explained by the Sports Gazettethis start to preparation is not likely to enhance the player’s profile. A starter in the friendly defeat against Al-Ittihad this week (0-2), Correa was one of Milan’s worst players. Same story against Pisa a few days earlier (1-1). If the club’s goal was to offer him a showcase, in order to facilitate his departure this summer, we are far from that today.
In addition to dragging his spleen around on a daily basis, the one who has become persona non grata with the tifosi, has refused all the offers that have come his way: he said no to Estudiantes de Veron (Argentina), did not even lend himself to the game of discussions with AEK Athens, and closed the door to River Plate. A situation that is annoying internally, since the file for his replacement is now at a standstill. If the Dynamo Kiev striker, Vladyslav Vanat, was being tracked, the Ukrainian remains today dependent on the decision of Joaquin Correa. With a salary estimated at 6.5 million euros per year, and a transfer for 30 million euros at the time from Lazio, the Argentinian is not likely to make new friends in Milan…
