Colo Colo has made its first move in the transfer market. Blanco y negro has met Jorge Almirón’s requirements and secured the signing of Javier Correa.
After several days of negotiations, the Cacique managed to get the 31-year-old forward’s card. Despite the intentions of Pincha and Boca Juniors, the Albos increased the offer for the player and achieved their first signing in this hiring window.
But from Argentina they alert Colo Colo about the arrival of the former Santos Laguna, Racing Club and Colón among others. “They didn’t go looking for a goal scorer. But he is a complete forward. He makes his teammates play. He is selfless. He makes diagonal passes. He is very intense.“said journalist Axel Laurini.
The communicator also added that Correa “has had a career where he has not stood out for spending several years in a club.” After that, it was detailed that the player “You will receive a higher salary, almost double what you receive in Estudiantes“.
This was a decisive reason for his departure, as Estudiantes wanted to improve his salary, but it was not close to what the Albos had proposed.
When does Javier Correa arrive?
Everything indicates that he should be in Chile by the first week of July to join Colo Colo in training. At the moment it is indicated that the contract will be for three seasons and his debut would be in the Copa Libertadores.
It should be noted that so far this year, Javier Correa has played 24 games and scored 9 goals with 3 assists. He also managed to win the 2024 League Cup.
