Joaquin Correa has reportedly joined Inter from Lazio.
Correa has been linked with a move to the Serie A champions for several weeks and according to Fabrizio Romano, everything is done. Per Romano, it’s a €30 million transfer plus €1 million in add-ons. He will first be joining on loan with Inter then having an obligation to buy.
At 27 years of age, Correa will be playing alongside fellow Argentina Lautaro Martinez at the club. Both players were part of the Argentina team which won the Copa America and both have been called-up to the Argentina national team for September’s World Cup qualifiers.

Argentina vs. Bolivia on September 9 at the Monumental stadium will have fans in attendance.
The minister of health and the minister of tourism and sports of Argentina have confirmed that September’s World Cup qualifying match between Argentina and Bolivia will have fans in attendance. The Monumental stadium will have 30% of its capacity, meaning the Copa America champions will be playing in front of their fans.
This would be Argentina’s third of three World Cup qualifying matches in September, with the first being against Venezuela and the other, a repeat of the Copa America final against Brazil. The match vs. Brazil in Sao Paulo will also be played with fans.
For Argentina, they would be without Gerónimo Rulli, Gonzalo Montiel, Germán Pezzella, Juan Foyth, Marcos Acuña, Rodrigo De Paul, Guido Rodríguez, Papu Gómez and Ángel Correa. This, along with Emiliano Martinez, Cristian Romero, Gio Lo Celso and Emiliano Buendia of the Premier League.

The Premier League have released a statement in regards to next momth’s international fixtures as clubs will not be releasing the players.
Argentina, along with Brazil, Venezuela and Bolivia will be without their Premier League based players for September’s World Cup qualifiers. The league released a statement on Tuesday mentioning that a unanimous decision has been taken “not to release players for international matches in red-list countries next month.”
For Argentina, that means no Emiliano Martinez, Cristian Romero, Gio Lo Celso and Emiliano Buendia as all four play in England. For the likes of Brazil, it means no Alisson, Ederson, Thiago Silva, Fabinho, Fred, Gabriel Jesus, Richarlison, Firmino and Raphina.
Premier League clubs have today reluctantly but unanimously decided not to release players for international matches played in red-list countries next month
Angel Di Maria scored a goal very similar to the one he managed for Argentina vs. Brazil in the Copa America final which gave Argentina the trophy.
Di Maria loves chip goals. After scoring one in 2008 at the Olympics final which gave Argentina the gold medal vs. Nigeria, the Argentine did it again last month in the Copa America final when Argentina lifted the trophy.
He scored another lob goal, this time for PSG, his first of the season. Starting the match on the bench, he was brought on as a substitute with a little under 10 minutes remaining. But that was all he needed as he scored PSG’s fourth goal of the match.
Mauro Icardi started for PSG but was substitute off due to a shoulder injury. He has since been ruled out for 3-4 weeks. Lionel Messi and Leandro Paredes were no part of the squad.
Three of the four PSG players have been called-up to the Argentina national team as Lionel Messi, Angel Di Maria and Leandro Paredes will be part of the squad for the September matches.
Facundo Medina started and played the entire 90 minutes for Lens in their 2-0 win vs. Monaco. Medina, who missed the first match of the season, a 1-1 draw vs. Rennes, was in the squad and played last week in the 2-2 draw vs. St-Etienne. This was their first win of the season.
With Dario Benedetto joining La Liga club Elche from Marseille, coach Jorge Sampaoli is left with only one Argentine in the team. Ironically enough, that Argentine was not part of the squad for Marseille vs. OGC Nice as Leonardo Balerdi received a red card in their last match.
However, goalkeeper Walter Benitez was part of the starting eleven for OGC Nice in their match vs. Marseille. A match which was ultimately called-off with about 15 minutes remaining, OGC Nice fans began throwing objects at the Marseille players. An act which led to fans storming the pitch with Sampaoli getting involved.
The league have since awarded Nice the win but Marseille will reportedly contest the result.
