Re: Willy Caballero
Having been reported in Argentine sports paper Óle and in the Málagueño edition of newspaper SUR, earlier this week, local reports are confirming that Málaga have reached an agreement with 24-year-old Argentine keeper, Agustín Cousillas, who will officially complete his move on a free transfer from Tigre, on 1st June.
It could be more than just a coincidence, but Agustín is the son of former Málaga assistant manager, Rubén Cousillas, who left with Manuel Pellegrini to join Manchester City. Whether his father has had any involvement in the deal however, remains unclear.
Agustín also has an Italian passport, which means that he won’t take up a foreign player slot in the Málaga squad. The questions that arise now, are regarding the futures of Willy Caballero and Carlos Kameni.
Kameni has made no secret of his frustrations, at limited starting opportunities, unable to oust Willy from his position. However, speculation gathers momentum that Willy could be destined for either Manchester City or Arsenal this summer, which would place Kameni as the most experienced goalkeeper at the club, should his Argentine team-mate leave.
For his part, Agustín has only made fleeting appearances in Argentine football with Tigre last season, so his signing is perhaps regarded as being one for the future and as backup, to whoever is the first-choice keeper at Málaga, during the upcoming 2014-2015 campaign in La Liga.
