Steve Mandanda’s potential departure from Marseille at the end of the season has prompted the club to search for a suitable replacement. According to reports from Le 10 Sport and Corse-Matin, Guillermo Ochoa, the goalkeeper of FC Ajaccio, has emerged as a potential candidate.
Corse-Matin indicates that Ochoa is not expected to renew his contract with FC Ajaccio, meaning he will be available on a free transfer at the end of the season. This situation aligns well with Marseille’s interests, as they would not have to pay a transfer fee to acquire him.
Ochoa himself has expressed ambitions of playing for a top European club and competing in the Champions League, stating in August that he would consider a good offer from such a team.
With Ochoa potentially available and interested in moving to a higher-profile club, Marseille’s path to securing him as Mandanda’s replacement appears to be clear.
