The 8 million euro clause that becomes effective this summer might draw interest from major Mexican clubs like América to sign Orbelín Pineda. Mexican reporter Jesús Bernal noted that although the clause presents an opportunity, it also poses a risk by potentially attracting other top clubs such as Cruz Azul and Tigres to compete with América. Despite the interest from these clubs, Pineda's current team, AEK, is eager to retain the player and is hoping to extend his contract, which remains valid until the summer of 2027. However, Pineda has not yet agreed to a new deal, leaving the possibility open for potential suitors.
