AEL Limassol Reaches Principle Agreement to Sign Guillermo Ochoa Pending Medical

The move would keep the 40-year-old in Europe to pursue Mexico's 2026 World Cup roster if he finalizes the contract by passing medical tests.

Overview

  • The Cypriot club announced the agreement on social media with a highlight video and the caption, “Fuerza. Reflejos. Legado. Pronto en Limassol.”
  • AEL stated the deal will activate only if Ochoa successfully completes required medical examinations.
  • Ochoa has been a free agent since leaving AVS in Portugal after a Burgos CF move collapsed, and Mexico coach Javier Aguirre recently left him out of friendlies citing his lack of club minutes.
  • AEL described Ochoa as one of the most recognizable modern goalkeepers and said it expects him to provide quality in goal and inspire younger players.
  • If completed, the switch would add Cyprus as the seventh country of his club career after Mexico, Spain, France, Portugal, Belgium and Italy.
