AEK is reportedly open to considering offers for Orbelín Pineda, having lowered their price to 8 million euros. Toluca is among the Mexican clubs that could potentially express interest. Initially, AEK's asking price was set at 16 million euros, but it was reduced by half due to a specific clause applicable to Mexican clubs, thus making a return to his home country more viable. Although no official offers have been made so far, clubs such as Chivas, Cruz Azul, Tigres, Monterrey, Toluca, and Club América are seen as potential candidates to enter negotiations for the 29-year-old Mexican attacking midfielder. Pineda has recorded one goal and five assists in 38 appearances this season, and his contract with AEK is valid until the summer of 2027.
