Orbelín Pineda’s future is in limbo. It is no secret that the Mexican has a great offer to sign with Monterrey this summer, however, the move is not going to be easy. Despite the fact that there is already a division between the AKE club of Athens and Pineda’s management, who openly confirm the desire to leave the Greek club, they assure that it is not due to a search for a better salary, but due to family issues of the Mexican, stating that the footballer at one time rejected millionaire offers from the Premier League out of loyalty to Almeyda’s team.
“Orbelín made a huge effort over the last two years to go to AEK. He rejected million-dollar offers (especially from Nottingham Forest) to come to AEK last year. He didn’t think about money. People have short memories and don’t remember. We do have memories and we do respect everyone. Orbelín didn’t ask to leave for free. He requested his transfer with transparency and humility. How many players do that? Being professional and continuing to train with a smile, you have to appreciate certain things in life,”
– Mario Villarreal, Orbelin’s agent
At this point, Monterrey is doing everything possible, as they no longer only want, but also require Orbelín after the departure of Luis Romo. Given that, having agreed with the Mexican for a four-year contract with a salary of three million dollars a year, the club continues with the goal of reaching AEK’s price to close the transfer.
