Angel Correa has penned a contract extension with Atletico Madrid, committing his future to the LaLiga club until June 2026.
The versatile forward s previous deal was due to expire in 2024 but he signed fresh terms on a four and a half year deal on Tuesday.
Correa joined Diego Simeone s side from San Lorenzo in 2014 and has since racked up 305 appearances for the reigning LaLiga champions, scoring 53 goals and assisting 49 times.
Only Antoine Griezmann (188) and Koke (140) have been involved in more goals than Correa (102) under Simeone.
Capable of operating across the frontline or in behind, the Argentina international has played an integral role for Simeone and impressed in whichever position he has been utilised in.

Joaquin described the coming Copa del Rey final as a beautiful thing after he helped Real Betis seal a showdown with his old club, Valencia.
Manuel Pellegrini s side drew 1-1 with Rayo Vallecano in Thursday s semi-final second leg to progress to their fifth Copa final with a 3-2 aggregate win.

Valencia had secured their place in the final on Wednesday, Goncalo Guedes fine strike securing a 1-0 win over Athletic Bilbao and a 2-1 aggregate victory.

The Premier League has recommended a deduction of up to 12 points for Everton over alleged breaches of financial rules, according to a report on Wednesday.
The Daily Telegraph has reported that the league has asked an independent commission hearing charges against the Merseyside club to impose a severe sanction.

Pep Guardiola must be wary of the complicated challenge Atletico Madrid can pose to Manchester City in the Champions League quarter-final, according to Luis Garcia and Jose Enrique.
Atletico battled to a 2-1 aggregate victory over Manchester United in their last-16 clash to tee up a first-ever meeting in Europe between Diego Simeone s side and City.
But Guardiola and Simeone are no strangers to one another given they have faced off four times, and Atleti eliminated the Spaniard s Bayern Munich in the 2015-16 Champions League semi-finals.
Atletico averaged just 27 per cent possession across the two legs and scored twice from 18 shots, while Bayern netted the same number of goals from 53 attempts as the Spanish side progressed on away goals.
Garcia, who e…
Sevilla claimed a record sixth Europa League triumph this century as Diego Carlos proved an unlikely hero in a thrilling 3-2 win over Inter in Cologne.
Romelu Lukaku gave Inter a fifth-minute lead from the penalty spot – Diego Carlos might have been sent off for bringing him down but Sevilla s semi-final hero Luuk de Jong overturned the deficit with a pair of fine first-half headers.
Diego Godin s 35th-minute leveller had Inter swiftly back on terms and the Serie A side appeared to be in the ascendency during a more circumspect second half, until a stunning twist in the tale.
Diego Carlos had been tormented by Lukaku for most of the game but his overhead-kick when Ever Banega s 74th-minute free-kick was partially cleared took a decisive touch off Inter s top…
Arsenal and Leeds United are set to go toe-to-toe for the signature of Club Brugge s Noa Lang, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes.
The winger, also capable of playing as a central attacker, started out at Feyenoord but joined the youth setup of Ajax in 2013. Having come through the ranks of the club s famous academy, he spent the second half of 2019-20 on loan at Twente, as well as almost the whole of 2020-21 at Club Brugge. His fine performances prompted the Belgian side to make the deal permanent this summer for a reported fee of €6 million.
This term, the 22-year-old already has eight goal involvements (four goals, four assists) from 10 appearances in all competitions, including the surprising 1-1 draw against star-studded Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions Lea…
Nemanja Matic wants Manchester United to kill opponents off when they have the chance after struggling West Brom made them work for a 1-0 victory on Saturday.
The win was United s first in the Premier League at Old Trafford since July and came with a slice of VAR fortune after an incident-packed start to the second half.
Bruno Fernandes was penalised for a foul on Conor Gallagher in the United box, only for the decision to be overturned when referee David Coote reviewed replays on the pitchside monitor.
Fernandes then had the chance to score from the spot himself, at which point the Portugal midfielder earned another reprieve.
Replays showed West Brom goalkeeper Sam Johnstone came off his line to save Fernandes initial effort and the United playmaker made…
A brilliant late Jhon Duran goal gave Aston Villa another famous 1-0 win against Bayern Munich in their first Champions League home match on Wednesday.
The scoreline was a repeat of Villa s 1982 European Cup final victory over Bayern in a throwback to the most glorious day in the Premier League side s history.
Bayern dominated possession at Villa Park but squandered their chances and were undone by Duran s latest spectacular strike in the 79th minute as he spotted Manuel Neuer off his line and scooped the ball over the goalkeeper to send the home fans into delirium.
That was Duran s sixth goal of the season and fifth as a substitute as he continues his remarkable knack of netting vital goals from the bench.

Chelsea are reportedly the subject of a Premier League investigation for alleged breaches of financial regulations during Roman Abramovich’s time at the club.
It has been reported current owners Todd Boehly and the Clearlake Capital Consortium, who took over last summer after Abramovich was forced to sell following sanctions as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, flagged the potential issue to the Premier League and Football Association themselves.
