Tigres' options in the transfer market
However, they also explored the possibility of repatriating Guido Rodríguez, former América player and current West Ham midfielder.
The club investigated the Argentine's situation with the English team, although it did not present a formal offer.
According to international media, Rodríguez's intention is to stay in Europe, despite his little activity since the departure of Julen Lopetegui from the Hammers' bench.
This is not the first time Tigres has shown interest in the midfielder, as in 2024 they sought him as a replacement for Rafael Carioca.
However, Guido chose to renew his contract with the English club until 2027.
In addition to Correa, Tigres has Honduran Joseph Rosales, left back of Minnesota United, in their sights to occupy the last foreign spot.
They also plan to loan out Brazilian Romulo Swarg, recently signed, but with no intention of selling him yet.

According to the Italian press, Juventus are also close to finalising the transfer of another player from Porto, Portuguese right-back Joao Mario while defender Alberto Costa is expected to go in the other direction. Juve, now coached by Igor Tudor, have already strengthened their attacking line with the signing of Canadian international Jonathan David from French side Lille. jr/lle/bsp/nr

Time Is Ticking On Packers' Coach Matt LaFleur And GM Brian Gutekunst
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur (left) and general manager Brian Gutekunst (right) are ... More entering a critical season. Ed Policy could have ended the drama before it began. Instead, the Green Bay Packers' incoming team president took a wait-and-see approach. Now, the seats held by head coach Matt LaFleur and general manager Brian Gutekunst are suddenly quite warm. LaFleur and Gutekunst have been paired together since 2019, making them the fifth-longest tenured duo in football. Of those five, LaFleur and Gutekunst have accomplished the least. Both LaFleur and Gutekunst have two years left on the contract extensions they signed in 2022. Policy said last month he doesn't think a coach and G.M. should work into the final years of their contracts without a new deal. Policy also said he wasn't ready to offer extensions to either Gutekunst or LaFleur. 'We won't be doing anything going into this season,' Policy said. So if the Packers — who open training camp Wednesday — don't have a big year in 2025, they could be hunting for a new head coach and G.M. after the season. 'I think generally speaking I would avoid lame-duck status,' Policy said. 'It's oftentimes difficult on everybody involved.' Overall, both Gutekunst and LaFleur have done extremely solid work during their time in Green Bay. Gutekunst inherited a mess when he took over for former general manager Ted Thompson in Jan., 2018. The Packers had an aging roster, salary cap issues and were coming off their first losing season in nine years. Since then, Gutekunst has led the Packers to a 73-42-1 record, five playoff appearances in seven years and two appearances in the NFC Championship Game. Gutekunst's big ticket free agents — Josh Jacobs, Xavier McKinney, Preston Smith, Za'Darius Smith and Adrian Amos — have all been terrific signings. He's drafted better than most give him credit for. And he had the guts to select quarterback Jordan Love and move on from future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers. That courageous decision has the Packers in far better shape at the NFL's most important position than if Gutekunst had stuck with Rodgers. On the flip side, there's a reason the NFL's smallest city calls itself 'Titletown.' And it's been 15 years since the Packers have been to a Super Bowl. When the 2024 season ended, Gutekunst said, 'We need to continue to ramp up our sense of urgency.' While many read that as a message for the team, it was also applicable to Gutekunst and LaFleur. It's quite possible that Gutekunst — who helped select LaFleur in Jan., 2019 — could survive a down year and have the chance to pick Green Bay's next head coach. But the best way for Gutekunst to ensure his long-term security would be for the 2025 Packers to win big. 'I think it's time we started competing for championships, right?' Gutekunst said at the end of the 2024 campaign. 'I think they're ready.' There's no question LaFleur needs a big season if he hopes to be back in 2026. LaFleur led the Packers to a 39-10 overall record his first three seasons in Green Bay (2019-2021), highlighted by trips to the NFC Championship Game in both 2019 and 2020. Green Bay has gone 28-23, though, the last three seasons (.549). And the Packers have just one playoff win since reaching the NFC Championship Game in 2020. LaFleur's overall record of 67-33 is certainly impressive. But he's also coming off arguably the worst of his six seasons as Green Bay's head coach and the bloom is certainly off the rose. While the Packers finished 11-7 in 2024 (including playoffs), they went 1-5 in the NFC North, their worst mark in the division since 2005. Green Bay was also 0-6 against the NFC's top three teams — Philadelphia, Detroit and Minnesota — and closed the year on a three-game losing streak. In addition, LaFleur struggled with clock management, challenge flags and his own emotions a year ago. During a Week 4 loss to Minnesota at Lambeau Field last season, LaFleur wanted a timeout, the officials didn't see him and he went irate. The result was a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty for his juvenile antics. 'I'm absolutely embarrassed that I got an unsportsmanlike (conduct penalty),' LaFleur said that day. 'When you expect composure from your team and then you're doing that, that's a bad look. I think we all can be better, myself No. 1 at the forefront of that. This is a humbling league at times.' During Green Bay's 34-31 loss at Detroit on Dec. 5, LaFleur got into a verbal altercation with a Lions fan before the game. The fan was on the field to hold the flag for the national anthem when he and LaFleur engaged in a lengthy, heated verbal battle. 'He was talking junk to our players, giving them the throat-slash sign, you know,' LaFleur said. 'You're trying to de-escalate it, and then he gets in my face.' The thing is LaFleur didn't de-escalate it. He made it worse. It was a bad look for both LaFleur and the Packers. And perhaps the greatest example of emotion trumping logic came on challenge plays, as LaFleur went 1-6 when throwing his red flag. Dating back to 2023, LaFleur is just 2-12 in his last 14 challenges. 'I'm gonna worry about winning games, and then we'll worry about getting the challenges right,' an irritated LaFleur said late last season. 'How about that?' There are four G.M./head coach duos that have been together longer than Gutekunst and LaFleur. And by most measures, all four have been better. Kansas City head coach Andy Reid and G.M. Brett Veach are beginning their ninth season together. In their first eight years, the Chiefs have played in five Super Bowls, won three championships, reached seven conference title games and won the AFC West all eight years. Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead and coach Sean McVay also have eight years together. The Rams have won one Super Bowl in that time, lost another, reached the playoffs six of eight seasons and captured four NFC West titles. San Francisco general manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan teamed up in 2017, as well. In that time, the 49ers reached two Super Bowls (both losses) and played in four NFC Championship Games. And Buffalo general manager Brandon Beane and coach Sean McDermott have been together since 2017. Those two reshaped a franchise that hadn't been to the playoffs since 1999 and have now led the Bills to the postseason six straight years and seven of eight overall. And while Buffalo hasn't been to a Super Bowl, it's played in two conference championship games and has won five straight AFC East division titles. The NFL has always meant 'Not For Long.' So while Gutekunst and LaFleur have done many impressive things, they haven't won to the level of their peers with longer tenures. And in this league, if you don't produce championships, your time eventually runs out. Only Policy himself knows if he's leaning towards sticking with the status quo or putting his own stamp on the organization. The best way for Gutekunst and LaFleur to impress their new boss is by making a deep playoff run. If they can't, what takes place off the field in Green Bay this season will be just as interesting as what happens on it.
