The Mexican soccer player, Orbelín Pineda, would have finally defined his future for the next world football season when he was officially sold to the Greek AEK Athens by the Spanish Celta de Vigo; The decision comes days after the current champion of Greece presented a formal offer for Pineda to keep him in his ranks due to the great sporting value he added to his squad last season.
The information about this fact was released by the journalist Gustavo Mendoza of Fox Sports, who detailed that Celta de Vigo and AEK of Athens closed the signing to link the Aztec striker to their organization for the next four seasons and thus continue counting on who was one of the best scorers in the organization and in the entire championship.
The decision occurred because just this Friday the last day of Pineda’s transfer by the Spanish team ended and given the interesting proposal from AEK they decided to accept it due to the high monetary income that the Mexican represented; The signing thus complies with the wishes of the technical director Matías Almeyda to keep him within his ranks.
This represents important news for Orbelín Pineda because it allows him to be present within one of the most important teams in Greece and thus be able to continue fulfilling his dream of playing in Europe.
Let’s remember that the former player of the Chivas Rayadas de Guadalajara and the Máquina Celeste of Cruz Azul did the impossible within the MX League to finally make the leap to the old continent with Celta de Vigo; In that club he did not have a major role and was loaned to AEK Athens, where he was in charge of dominating each of the games he played.
During last season, the 27-year-old played a total of 43 games with the Greek team, in which he managed to score a total of 10 goals and provided four assists to support them in obtaining the title of champion.
Orbelín Pineda is currently concentrating with the Mexican team led by Jaime Lozano to play the 2023 Gold Cup; In said competition he managed to score a goal in the beating that El Tri gave the Honduran national team.
