This is not as big as Ochoa or many mexico fans had hoped.
The Mexican, who played for Club America before moving to France in 2011, will be replacing Argentine Willy Caballero, who signed for Manchester City earlier in the transfer window. It was reported that Ochoa rejected several rich offers from France to join the Spanish side for their upcoming season. The player has agreed to terms with the terms set by Malaga and is set to undergo medical before putting pen to paper on the deal. The Mexican has had a spectacular World Cup campaign in Brazil coming out as one of the best surprising packages in the World Cup.
Ochoa, the 29-year-old will now compete with Carlos Kameni, for the role of first-choice goalkeeper. He left his club Ajjacio after they were relegated and he was allowed to leave on a free transfer.
Ochoa’s former club Ajaccio was a legitimate minnow in a league that simply doesn’t have the same weight as Spain’s top division, despite the influx of money into Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco.
Ochoa achieved instant fame after saving a perfect header from Neymar and then standing as a un-penetrable wall during Mexico's World Cup Campaign. Finally it took a penalty after a controversial dive from Robben to get past Ochoa.
But this time's LaLiga is going to be even more exciting with Ochoa adding to the galore of stars !
