Ochoa agent plays down Liverpool link

The agent of Ajaccio and Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa has played down speculation linking him with a move to Liverpool.

The 27-year-old has been in fine form in Ligue 1 and is rumoured to be a potential replacement for Pepe Reina, who has been linked with Barcelona, who are set to lose goalkeeper Victor Valdes on a free transfer.

Ochoa’s agent Jorge Berlanga has been quick to dispel any talk of a move to Anfield, but has claimed there is genuine interest in his player from several clubs.

“Many clubs are interested in Memo, and they have been watching him, but we are still at the stage of rumours,” Berlanga told So Foot.

Ochoa has been at Ajaccio since the summer of 2011, having started his career at Mexican side Club America in 2004.

The 50-cap Mexico international has previously been linked with the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal.
