Mis mejores deseos para Ochoa en Club América.
The representatives of Guillermo Ochoa are almost close to a deal with Fulham FC and Club America concerning the future of the goalkeeper.
Guillermo Ochoa has met with Alistair Mackintosh and Mark Hughes, the president and coach, respectively, of Fulham FC, and has passed his requirements for the club.
While it appears that the deal is done, some obstacles have appeared.
Guillermo Ochoa needs a working visa in order to work in Great Britain. The requirements for non-UK citizens are extensive and the EPL knows it.
Fulham denied the presence of any deal with Guillermo Ochoa. Club America announced that any deals concerning its players will be released through its official channels.
Club America appears to be displeased with Ochoa’s visit to Fulham. Fulham is not content with the preliminary release of the information concerning the goalkeeper.
While the news has been gradually released, it appears that the people involved in the future of Memo Ochoa wanted to keep things a secret.
The US Latin station Univision conducted a poll among 272 people concerning Memo Ochoa in England.
172 out of 272 people surveyed (63%) think that Ochoa went to sign a contract with Fulham. 59 of 272 (22%) think that Ochoa wants to apply pressure on Club America to renew his contract.
The remaining people that were surveyed had replies that are not worth mentioning, since it is unrelated to what may be the breaking news story of Christmas 2010.
It appears that this story will not go away, with Ochoa deciding between Fulham and Club America.
According to the rumor mill, Guillermo Ochoa, the goalie for Club America, may be signed by Fulham or Arsenal.
Ochoa is currently in England at the invitation of the governing body of Fulham FC and its coach Mark Hughes. Club America has responded by saying that their star player is on vacation.
It has also stated that Ochoa will be returning to Mexico to report for his physical examination on December 13, 2010 in preparation for the closing of the 2010-2011 Mexican League season.
Behind the scenes, it appears that Club America is paying attention in case Fulham or Arsenal attempt to sign Ochoa during his «vacation».
The venerable club from Mexico is looking to see what will transpire if there is a contract offer for Ochoa. They will probably work to make sure that they receive benefits from any transfer.
The only visible sign from Club America concerning Ochoa in England came from its coach Manuel Lapuente.
He announced that if Ochoa receives a concrete offer from England, he will allow the goalie to leave Club America. Lapuente recognized that this would be a big loss for Club America, but that Ochoa is the only one who can decide his future.
It remains to be seen what will be the next move for Ochoa.
