The 40-year-old experienced glove, who had reached an agreement with Spanish 2nd Division team Burgos, ran away as he was about to sign a contract.
'Excuse to buy coffee'
According to information obtained by Sergio Gonzalez Pulgar of the Spanish press, Ochoa went to the clubhouse for the contract. After studying the details, the experienced goalkeeper went out under the pretext of "getting a coffee" and never returned.
According to journalist Sergio González Pulgar, Ochoa never returned to the Burgos facilities. Since then, the goalkeeper has not responded to any calls from the board of directors, leaving the club in a difficult and unsettling situation.
When reports of 'Ochoa's escape' appeared in the European press, a source close to the veteran goalkeeper was forced to make a statement. Ochoa explained why he left the facilities where he had gone to sign: 'The club suddenly and downwardly adjusted the value of his contract. They sent a final contract that included 60% of advertising revenues in the club's favor and a separate clause for five million. The final amount didn't even reach the minimum wage in this category.'
