Faitelson Slams Rayados Signing of Orbelín Pineda

David Faitelson sharply criticized Rayados' acquisition of Orbelín Pineda at the start of Liga MX 2026. He argued that the midfielder’s existing contract with AEK Athens, which runs until mid‑2027, is being breached and that the move could jeopardize the player’s career.

At 30, Pineda is still regarded as an effective right‑wing option in European football. Faitelson warned that the signing poses a significant risk for both the club and the player.
