Marios Iliopoulos is trying to convince Pineda to sign a new contract with AEK. There have been personal discussions at a New Year's event and during celebrations in Toumba.

Marios Iliopoulos, a leader at AEK, made a gesture towards Orbelín Pineda implying 'you will stay here,' which is linked to ongoing negotiations for contract renewal. A Mexican media report mentioned an agreement on the duration of the new contract until 2028, with financial terms yet to be finalized.

AEK is reportedly in advanced negotiations with Orbelín Pineda for a contract renewal. Sources suggest that the new contract is expected to last until 2028 or 2029, with a high release clause ranging between 20-25 million dollars. The negotiations are focused on securing Pineda's stay at AEK, preventing moves to clubs like Chivas or any other team. While the duration of the contract has been agreed upon, reports indicate that the financial terms are still under negotiation. It is noted that the player is currently committed to AEK until 2027, with specific release clauses set at 8 million euros for Mexico and the USA, and 10 million euros for the Middle East, starting next season.

AEK has made a contract extension offer to Orbelín Pineda until the summer of 2029. The offer removes the existing clauses of 8 million euros for Mexico and the USA, and 10 million euros for the Middle East. AEK aims to make Pineda the highest-paid player in their roster. Negotiations are still ongoing, and the decision is now in the player's hands to either accept AEK's offer or consider other options for his future.
