Orbelín Pineda options if you decide to leave Cruz Azul

A hectic semester is coming to the offices in The Blue Cross. Cementists will see how six of his players end their relationship with the club in June next yearAnd there is already an internal debate about who to renew and who to give up. The fight concerns this issue, however, there is another that is already beginning to generate uncertainty in the corridors: the case Orbelín Pineda.

“Maguito” concludes the contract in December and, if no agreement is reached with the cement producers, you can negotiate with any other club from the same month of June. However, La Noria intends to retain him, but the economic positions of the footballer and the institution are far from being understood.

According to information from the last days, Orbelín would have asked for three million dollars a year in a contract that would last until 2024. His current salary is close to two million and he is one of the best paid players in the whole team. The economic uncertainty left by the pandemic does not give armistice to the finances it manages at the cluband that it offers something very far from what the player asks for.

This “dead end” made the city-born man begin to explore other options for his future, away from La Maquina. According to information from Gabriel Tamayo, from Informador, Pineda has three alternatives to continue his football career. One of them in the same Liga MX, but on the side Tigers, a team that will bet heavily on the next transfer market.

The second option is an exit to MLS. Without specifying the name of the entity, there is talk of a larger offer than cats can present, something that would be in line with Orbelín’s statements. The other, more distant alternative is heading towards European football. This is the one that attracts the midfielder the most, but no category team that is interested in the footballer has not been present yet.
