“Angelito” came on as a substitute in his team’s recent 5-3 loss to Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup and this season, he participated in 23 games, scoring five goals. With Gallardo, he could have a more prominent role.
Romano pointed out that Correa’s eventual departure to Arabia could open the door for another world champion: Thiago Almada. The former Vélez player, who will participate in the Pre-Olympic with the Under 23 National Team led by Mascherano, is the “top priority” for Atlético.
