Joaquín Correa

Carlos Joaquín Correa (Spanish pronunciation: [xoaˈkiŋ koˈrea];[a] born 13 August 1994)[3] is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for Serie A club Inter Milan.

Born in Juan Bautista Alberdi, Tucumán, Correa represented River Plate, Renato Cesarini and Estudiantes as a youth.

On 10 July 2016, La Liga side Sevilla reached an agreement with Sampdoria for the transfer of Correa for a rumoured €13 million fee.

[16] On 11 April 2018, he committed a horror challenge on Javi Martínez in added time against Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League season and was shown a straight red.

[20] In the 2018–19 Coppa Italia, Correa scored the goal that eliminated AC Milan from the competition and allowed Lazio to reach the final.

He was called up to the 26 man squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup by manager Lionel Scaloni, but ultimately ended up missing the tournament due to an injury sustained 5 days before it started.

Correa is primarily deployed as a deep-lying forward or supporting striker, although he is also capable of functioning as a left winger, or as a centre-forward.
