After three years at the institution, Guillermo ‘Memo’ Ochoa put an end to his second experience in the Águilas del Américaa club in which he was trained from a very young age and has given him his best football level.
Both parties now go their separate ways. While Club América focuses on the restart of Liga MX this weekend with the Clausura 2022 Tournament, Memo Ochoa is already a starter with Salernitana in Serie A in Italy.
In this context, details of the unsuccessful attempt by the Azulcrema board of directors, specifically sports president Santiago Baños, to renew their goalkeeper and captain have been released.
And it is that according to the column Touch Filtered of the portal Halftimewhich in the past has revealed internal details of the capital club, Ochoa wanted to stay in America but at the last moment and in the middle of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, Santiago Baños unexpectedly changed the offer what he had done to her
The verbally agreed agreement was for two years at the rate of the same salary that he had been receiving to remain the third highest paid in the Americanista squad. When the 37-year-old soccer player returns from Qatar after the failure of the Mexican National Team, he finds himself with another reality.
“Everything changed when he saw the little availability of the directive to sit down to sign the renewal and then Santiago Baños made some modifications to the agreement,” the source reported about the tense days prior to Ochoa’s departure from América.
He even makes sure that Salernitana made him a lower offer than the modified one that Santiago Baños put on the table, but Given the lack of word and “mistreatment of the board”, Guillermo Ochoa preferred to accept the challenge of returning to European footballa great challenge considering his seniority.
Guillermo Ochoa already made his debut in Serie A with Salernitana, who lost 1-2 at home to current champion AC Milan. The Mexican captain had a good performance but the performance of the Portuguese striker Rafael Leao was circumstantial to steal the point from his team.
