Inter Miami wants to sign Angel Correa to reunite with Lionel Messi.

According to the latest report from ESPN's Raza Deportiva podcast, Inter Miami is pursuing an ambitious plan to bring forward Angel Correa to Chase Stadium. This is seen as a strategic move by the reigning MLS Cup champions to strengthen their squad and maximize the chemistry between the Argentinian players.

Angel Correa is no stranger to football fans worldwide, especially Lionel Messi. He was a key member of the Argentina team that won the 2022 World Cup. Correa's arrival is expected to bring a fresh perspective to Inter Miami's right wing, a position where the team needs more attacking flair and top-level experience.

An impressive performance in Liga MX.

Before becoming a target for Inter Miami, Angel Correa had a breakout spell playing for Tigres UANL. The 30-year-old forward joined the Mexican club last July after leaving Atletico Madrid for a transfer fee of around 8 million Euros.

Here, Correa quickly proved his worth as a top star. In just 23 appearances, he contributed to 14 goals (including both goals and assists). This outstanding performance was a key factor in Tigres UANL's deep run and runner-up finish in the Apertura 2025 tournament. Tactically, Correa is considered by experts to have a versatile playing style, possessing skillful individual technique and intelligent positioning.

The human resources problem and competition for positions.

If Angel Correa joins Inter Miami, he will create interesting competition for a right-wing position with his compatriot Tadeo Allende. The similarities in their playing styles will give the coach more options for squad rotation, while also strengthening the depth of the attack as Inter Miami competes in multiple competitions.

The prospect of playing alongside Lionel Messi once again is incredibly attractive to any Argentinian player. However, this deal is facing significant financial and legal obstacles from his current club, Tigres UANL.

Barriers from long-term contracts

Although Inter Miami is determined, Tigres UANL currently has no intention of letting their key player leave easily. Angel Correa still has a contract with the Monterrey-based team until 2030. In addition, his estimated salary of $4 million per season is also a significant amount.

To convince the Liga MX team to sit down at the negotiating table, Inter Miami will certainly have to make an extremely attractive financial offer. As the reigning MLS Cup champions, the pressure to maintain a strong squad is causing Inter Miami's management to carefully consider transfer options in order to maintain their dominance in the American professional league.
