What did Guido Pizarro say?

Guido Pizarro, head coach of Tigres UANL, broke the silence on Monday and confirmed he has received official word about Angel Correa's possible transfer to River Plate. In a short interview, the coach explained that the Argentine club is interested and that Tigres is still assessing the player's contract situation.

Why does the rumor matter to Tigres?

Even though Correa has never played in Mexico, his name appears in agent talks that also involve Liga MX players. Pizarro noted that any high‑profile move in South America indirectly affects the local market, as Mexican clubs may lose chances or gain leverage in negotiations. He also reminded that Tigres aims to strengthen its attack before the summer window closes.

How is Tigres doing in the standings?

Tigres UANL currently sits 7th in Liga MX with 25 points after 7 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses from 17 games; recent form is LWWDD. The team has scored 28 goals and conceded 18, a +10 goal difference. They are 11 points behind leaders U.N.A.M. – Pumas, highlighting the need for points in upcoming fixtures.

What’s next for the squad?

The next match for Tigres will be against Minnesota United FC at home on August 8, 2026. Pizarro said the group will focus on that game and on maintaining the offensive consistency that has produced 28 goals this season. Meanwhile, the board will keep an eye on Correa’s situation, though no concrete offer has been confirmed.

What does this mean for River Plate?

River Plate is looking to bolster its attack after an uneven campaign. Correa, an Argentine with European experience, could add creativity and goals. Pizarro mentioned that competition for South American talent is fierce and that Tigres always monitors continental movements.

What can fans expect?

Tigres supporters should brace for a decisive phase of the tournament. With an 11‑point gap to Pumas, every match matters. The coach assured that the squad is motivated and that the front office is working on signings that complement the current forwards. Meanwhile, the Correa rumor will keep fueling conversation on social media and in the press.
