According to Voetbalnieuws.be, Club Brugge is interested in Mexican defender Ochoa following his performance at the U20 World Cup, where he scored a header against Brazil. The report states that Juárez has since activated their purchase option from Chivas. This means Club Brugge is now in talks with Juárez, a situation the report describes as making the conversation more challenging but having little effect on the sporting situation.

Club Brugge has inquired about twenty-year-old central defender Diego Ochoa, joining other clubs in the race for the player. According to transfer journalist Fernando Esquivel, PSV has also contacted Ochoa's agent to gauge interest in a potential transfer. The journalist also claims that PSV scouts were recently present to watch him play. FC Porto has reportedly also made an inquiry about the defender. Ochoa is currently on loan at FC Juárez from Guadalajara, and a quick transfer is considered complicated because Juárez has a purchase option in the deal that they seem likely to activate.
