Orbelín Pineda is officially a Monterrey player. The deal between the parties involved was finalized with the relevant signatures and the exchange of documents between the Mexican club and AEK.

All that remains now is the official announcement from the Mexican club and the “yellow-and-blacks,” which is expected to happen shortly. It should be noted that AEK will receive the full release clause amount—8 million euros—with 50% paid upfront.

According to reports in Mexico, the 30-year-old midfielder, who will be reunited with Matías Almeida, has already passed the necessary medical exams.

As for his replacement, AEK appears ready to finalize this matter immediately.
