Guillermo Ochoa to SSC Napoli?
Jul 28, 2018 - 10:38 AM hours
Mexico international Guillermo Ochoa's path to joining Napoli appears to be clearing, club president Aurelio de Laurentiis has said.
De Laurentiis admitted his club's interest in Ochoa on Tuesday while discussing the dilemma of each Serie A club only being allowed three non-European Union players. The rule threatens to squash deals to bring Ochoa in from Standard Liege and full-back Santiago Arias from PSV Eindhoven.
Mexican outlet Record reported on Thursday that Standard Liege had received a formal offer from Napoli of between "€3-4 million."
Napoli are on the look-out for a new goalkeeper after Pepe Reina left after the end of last season and new 21-year-old signing Alex Meret fractured his arm just days after he joined the club earlier this month.

Napoli is no longer interested in signing Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, club president Aurelio De Laurentiis said Wednesday.
De Laurentiis made public his interest in the current Standard Liege player after first-choice keeper Alex Meret fractured his finger in early July. But that has now ended. However, third-choice goalkeepers at Arsenal and Liverpool in David Ospina and Simon Mignolet are still on his radar.
"Maybe we'll sign Ospina -- we're negotiating and there are differences over what they are asking for, but it could go through," he told Naples' Radio Kiss Kiss. "We pursued Ospina, Ochoa and (Simon) Mignolet, who is a great keeper, as well as [Ciprian] Tatarusanu .
"Those were the four names on the list. However, I'm not considering Ochoa anymore because he isn't a European Union citizen and [Giovanni] Malago [president of the Italian Olympic committee] has no intention of changing Italian football."
