Over the course of a decade with the club, he made more than 400 appearances and was part of the squad that claimed the UEFA Europa League in 2018 and the La Liga title in 2021. After a brief spell in Mexico, he returned to Argentina to play for River Plate. Correa captained the Argentina U-20 to victory at the 2015 South American U-20 Championship, where he was named Player of the Tournament. Since making his senior debut, he has been a consistent member of the squad. He represented Argentina at the 2021 Copa América and the 2022 FIFA World Cup, contributing to the team's success in both tournaments. Correa signed a four-year professional deal with the Ciclón on 23 September 2012, and was promoted to the first-team in January 2013. On 11 May, Correa scored his first professional goal, netting the last of a 3–0 home success against Boca Juniors. On 22 May 2021, Correa scored in Atlético's 2–1 win over Real Valladolid on the final day of the 2020–21 La Liga season to win the league title for the first time since 2014.
