Orbelín Pineda revealed that fans of Olympiacos and Panathinaikos frequently ask him to leave AEK, while Mexican teams Chivas and Monterrey have also made persistent approaches. Pineda feels he has found his place at AEK, where his contract runs until June 30, 2027, and bases his career choices on his family's happiness. An €8 million release clause for Mexican and US clubs has been consistently reported as active since summer 2025, and it was also reported that Monterrey had a final offer of approximately €9.3 million rejected in August 2024.
