Chelsea, Inter Milan, and Newcastle are interested in signing Club Brugge centre-back Joel Ordonez.
Joel Ordonez, the 21-year-old Ecuador international, has become one of the most sought-after defenders in Europe. His impressive performances for Club Bruge, including matches against Bayern Munich and Barcelona in the Champions League, have caught the attention of top clubs.
Inter Milan, Newcastle, and Chelsea are among the leading clubs interested in Ordonez, with the Italian giants reportedly making a strong push to sign him. The Premier League clubs are also keen to secure his services, with Chelsea, Newcastle, West Ham United, and Aston Villa all monitoring his progress.
Ordonez recently signed a new contract with Club Brugge until 2029, but the Belgian club is aware that it may be difficult to keep him. The club is expected to place a high price tag on the defender, and a transfer could happen before or after the World Cup next summer.
Ordonez is currently with the Ecuador squad, preparing to face Canada in a friendly match. He is expected to be part of Ecuador’s World Cup squad and will be looking to make a strong impression on the global stage.
The defender’s calm and athletic style has made him a top target for clubs looking to strengthen their defence. With his rising star and impressive performances, Ordonez is likely to be a key player in the transfer market in the coming months.
