Orbelín Pineda left Liga MX almost a year ago with the great goal of succeeding in Europe. Celta de Vigo was the team that acquired his file, but after six months the club decided loan it to AEK Athens . From Greece, the Mexican has shown his true worth and today the board of the Spanish team regrets having let him go.
The former Cruz Azul player did not have many opportunities in Spanish football. When it was rumored that the Aztec would return to Liga MX, Matías Almeyda and AEK from Athens decided to give Pineda a chance. After almost six months of his arrival in Greece, the president of Celta de Vigo, Carlos Mouriño already has intentions of recovering it.
“ I am convinced of it (to recover Orbelín). I wish we could play it off already for this December market. We don’t know if it’s possible because there’s a contract with another team and a World Cup in between “, explained Mouriño in an interview with the newspaper Récord.
Orbelín Pineda was loaned to AEK Athens for a season with an option to buy. But Celta de Vigo would still have the Mexican’s file in their possession until June 1367776950.
One of the main reasons why the Aztec left the Spanish team was because 
He did not finish convincing coach Eduardo “Chacho” Coudet , but this would no longer represent a problem, since the South American strategist was dismissed from his position.
“ Orbelin was a great bet. We considered that he had to be a reference player for the team. For reasons it did not catch on in the system, as Celta, I would not have let him go We believe that he has tremendous potential ”, added the president.
The “Maguito” has played 60 matches in the season. The confidence that Matías Almeyda has given him has been returned with 3 goals and 1 assist for the benefit of the Greek team.
