Mexico’s esteemed international goalkeeper, Memo Ochoa, may soon depart from Salernitana as his contract allows for a potential exit at the conclusion of the current season, with the possibility of continuing his career within Serie A. Ochoa, a veteran of the sport set to reach the age of 39 in July, holds a contract extending until June 2025. However, a contractual clause permits his departure at no cost in the event of relegation, an outcome that appears increasingly likely given Salernitana’s current position, trailing by 11 points from safety. Esteemed transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has verified that Salernitana has granted clearance for Ochoa to depart in the upcoming summer transfer window without any financial obligations.
Despite his advancing years, Ochoa shows no inclination towards retirement, hinting at a potential continuation of his career within Serie A. Ochoa’s arrival at Salernitana in January 2023, having previously represented Mexico in five World Cup tournaments, came as a surprise, particularly as he joined the club from Club America on a free transfer. Throughout his tenure at Salernitana, Ochoa has featured in 40 matches, recording five clean sheets while conceding a significant 75 goals. With an impressive tally of 148 senior caps for Mexico, Ochoa’s experience and skill continue to make him a sought-after asset within the realm of professional football.
