AEK is in discussions with Orbelín Pineda for a contract renewal. A proposal for a new deal is expected within the next month, which will include higher earnings than his current salary of approximately 1.5 million euros. The new contract aims to secure Pineda for AEK for several more years, despite significant interest and lucrative offers from his home country, Mexico. His current contract includes a release clause of 8 million euros for Mexico/USA and 10 million euros for Asian clubs.
