Standard: option lifted for Ochoa, not yet agreed for Amallah

Standard

The 33-year-old Mexican goalkeeper is tied to the Standard until June 2020.

Impressive regularity since the playoffs 1 of 2018, Guillermo Ochoa is certainly one of the Standardmen of the season. The Mexican goalkeeper, who has not counted any clean-sheet since December 26 in Charleroi (he had not conceded a goal in the Clasico before the latter is stopped by the referee following the smoke jets) , has often been the basis of success Rouches since the beginning of the championship.

At the heart of a real soap opera last summer with these negotiations between Naples and Standard, Guillermo Ochoa was able to keep a cool head despite a good transfer aborted. "I had a hard time accepting it"he said during the season, disappointed not to have been able, at age 33, to discover the Champions League.

After a full season, Guillermo Ochoa still hopes to get a nice transfer this summer. The question of his future was often raised among supporters, who even feared seeing him leave the club for free in June after being at the end of his two-year contract.

But it will be nothing since this contract was well accompanied by an option for an additional season, an option that the leaders of Liège did indeed lift during the month of March.

Memo Ochoa is contractually bound to the Standard until June 2020, but there is no guarantee at present that it will still be Rouche next season. One thing is certain, his move to Standard will have marked Memo Ochoa.

"Before arriving at the club, we talk about the atmosphere that prevails in Standard.I was surprised at my arrival.I knew a lot of hot moods in my career, whether in the national team or club, but the one in Sclessin is one of the best ", he told the Spanish daily Marca.

Amallah: not yet agreed

In Sclessin, we are already looking into the next season and this is how the leaders of Liège have set their sights on the Mouscronnois Selim Amallah. The median of 22 years would already have an agreement with Standard on a four-year contract.

At the moment, there is no agreement yet between Standard and Mouscron who have to negotiate again this week for the young Belgo-Moroccan. If both clubs grant their violins, the amount of the transaction could be a little over 2 million euros.
