Estudiantes lose one of their key pieces in the attack, since Javier Correa agreed to leave and will continue his career at Colo Colo in Chile. The forward leaves Pincha after having executed the clause of about 2 million dollars. In this way, it is the third departure on the team led by Eduardo Domínguez.
Correa, a goalscorer and author of goals in decisive matches, generated great interest in Colo Colo, one of the most important teams in Chilean football. He became one of the wishes of coach Jorge Almirón and was included in the list of requests that the technical director made to the sports management in this transfer market.
The 31-year-old striker from Córdoba scored nine goals in the last championship and the red-and-white institution recognized that his exit clause was low based on performance and when it came to looking for a replacement. It should be noted that he had arrived at Pincha at the beginning of this year as an investment of $700,000 and, after his departure, they will receive the amount of the clause in a single payment.
During his time at Estudiantes, the player played just over 1,800 minutes in 27 matches, scoring nine goals and providing three assists. The Chilean club is still in the running for the Copa Libertadores and has a great chance of qualifying for the next edition with fourteen rounds left until the final whistle of the Chilean tournament.
During this transfer market, Javier Correa was one of the few players in the current squad who did not go on vacation outside the country. He stayed in his province training, knowing that news could arise at any moment.
In addition to the Chilean club, he was also in Boca’s portfolio, as a possible replacement for the starters Miguel Merentiel and Edinson Cavani.
Despite the idea of purging the squad, due to not having triple competition for the remainder of the year, Correa’s departure is a headache for Domínguez. Now Pincha will have to go out to find a replacement to compete with the Uruguayan Mauro Méndez and Guido Carrillo. Furthermore, in recent days the departure of Ezequiel Naya to Sarmiento was finalized.
