Marseille have been linked with a move for goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, who will be available on a free transfer in the summer. His contract with Ajaccio runs out at the end of the season. After managing to impress with Ajaccio during the season, the 28-year-old has been linked with moves to several big names over the last few weeks. Since he will be of no cost to potential clubs in terms of transfer fees, even big clubs like Marseille have shown tremendous interest in him. This is also beneficial for the player, as it would allow him to play in the Champions League and other such major competitions.
As a result, the player has stated that he would be willing to talk terms with Marseille should they make an official approach. Marseille are set to lose their number one goalkeeper, Steve Mandanda in the summer. This is expected to open the door for a new keeper and the availability of Ochoa on a free makes him extremely desirable. Marseille are one of the top clubs in French football even after the arrival of new owners to Monaco and PSG. Despite the riches of the two teams, Marseille are expected to qualify for Champions League next season.
“Of course I would like to go there. They’re a big team with great ambitions. I like the football here. It’s improved. You can see more and more good players. I like this country a lot. It makes me dream every time I see the Champions League. I hope one day to be able to play matches at that level. My priority is to stay in France. My agent is busying himself with that,” said the goalkeeper. Ajaccio are looking unlikely to even get out of the bottom of the table. They, however, managed a 1-1 draw with Bordeaux during the weekend.
