Orbelín Pineda remains in the minds of Chivas fans who remember his time at the Rojiblanca institution, where he was the champion of Liga MX, Concachampions and Copa MX, one of the most profitable reinforcements in recent times.
However, before the Clausura 2019 and after playing a World Cup for clubs with Guadalajara, the midfielder emigrated to Cruz Azul, where he is currently regarded as one of the best footballers in his position, making him a constant element in the national team. Mexico.
Orbelín’s contract with the Celestes expires in December, so he could already hear offers from other teams from the summer without the need to comment on it with Cruz Azul, although according to W Radio’s journalist Carlos Córdova, he reports that the player has not spoken to anyone so far
At La Noria, they don’t intend to let the midfielder escape so easily, so they definitely offer him an extension, but Could Chivas Do Anything?
It is no secret that Orbelín continues to feel empathy for the red and white colors and that on several occasions he has expressed support to the team through social networks and whether Amaury Vergara and his company have him in their sights, the good news is he could get free at the end of the year, the bad news, the player’s salary.
According to unofficial reports, Pineda receives a salary of about $ 2 million, one of the highest paid in Cruz Azul, and at the age of 24 at some good point in his career, he may be asking for a raise.
Chivas is in the red economically, and it has been revealed that the transfers of Uriel Antuna and the famed “Combo Rayo” have not yet been finalized, creating debt to Manchester City and Necaxa respectively.
The Flock will not be the only one interested in Orbelín, as MLS, Europe and the MX League itself also have the player’s name linked, so negotiating wouldn’t be easy.
Ricardo Peláez as director of Cruz Azul took over Pineda de Chivas, now he could seek his return and snuggly fans craving the midfielder’s return.
It’s not impossible, but it looks very difficult. Anything can happen in the herd.
