Hi,
Already a favourite of Jorge Sampaoli, there is every chance that Joaquín Correa will be one of Argentina’s attacking options in Russia this June and while the 23-year-old is not yet producing the level of consistency required to rival some of his more experienced teammates, there is a reason that Sampa wanted him at Sevilla.
After 18 months cutting his teeth in Italy with Sampdoria, another move in his young career always looked a possibility and Tucu had done enough to prompt Sevilla to pay a reported €13 million ahead of the 2016/17 season.
Monchi, Sevilla’s astute director of football, and recently appointed Copa América winning coach Sampaoli will have been aware of Correa well before his time in Serie A and will not have been surprised with how the young forward adapted to life at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.
After learning his trade alongside one of the best midfielders of a generation in Juan Sebastián Verón, Correa was well known to scouts from around the globe after breaking into the Estudiantes team at seventeen but events earlier in his career could have led to a very different outcome.
Homesickness put an end to Correa’s early dreams when he decided to quit River Plate at the age of eleven to return to his home in Tucumán. However, the ambition to succeed remained strong and after joining the Renato Cesarini club in Rosario, it wasn’t long before his talent was identified again and this time Estudiantes were the beneficiaries.
