MEXICO -- Mexican Guillermo Ochoa, Uruguayan Martín Campaña, and Argentinean Gerónimo Rulli are the goalkeepers that América will be looking for to fill the position left vacant by South American Agustín Marchesín, who has recently been signed by Porto of Portugal. The representative of Franco Armani ruled out the possibility of River Plate's player coming to Mexico.
Ochoa is the strongest candidate to reinforce the Eagles. The current national team player was formed at América and currently plays for Standard de Lieja. At 34 years old, he may return to Mexico after eight years in European soccer.
Uruguayan Martín Campaña has played for Independiente de Avellaneda since 2016 and is one of the most consistent goalkeepers in the Argentinean league. The same player mentioned that he is currently focused on his team's activities, but the 'King of Cups' owes money to the Eagles for the transfer of Cecilio Domínguez and Silvio Romero, so they could settle that debt with the transfer of the South American player.
Sources consulted by ESPN see the possibility of Campaña joining the Coapa team, if the Mexican team agrees to accept the goalkeeper as payment for the debt and adds an additional two to three million dollars.
The third option would be Gerónimo Rulli. The goalkeeper for Real Sociedad in Spain has not had the desired regularity with his team and could occupy the position left by Agustín Marchesín. Rulli is 27 years old and has spent five seasons in European soccer. He could return to the American continent to reinforce the team managed by Miguel Herrera.
The possibility of Franco Armani, 32 years old, joining the Eagles was closed after the representative of the River Plate player, Martín Aráoz, denied having contacted the management of the Mexican team to discuss the transfer of the Argentinean goalkeeper.
