According to One Football, AEK's Orbelín Pineda is linked with Monterrey, and it is reported that Matías Almeyda, who will be on the team's bench, could help complete the transfer. The report indicates that Almeyda's arrival at Monterrey is already being reflected in the sporting planning for the 2026 championship, as the management is working to rebuild the roster following a disappointing half-year. Orbelín Pineda is reportedly a prominent name, with Almeyda believing he could become the new leader of the team and fill the playmaking gap left by Sergio Canales' departure. Pineda and Almeyda previously worked together in Greece and won the Clausura 2017 championship with Chivas. They maintain an excellent professional relationship that could be decisive in convincing the player to return to Liga MX. The report adds that Monterrey has significant financial leeway and its management appears willing to support Almeyda's plan to build a team capable of competing for titles again.
