"According to Chobo Alvarez from ESPN Ecuador, the deal has entered key hours, and Liverpool are hoping to finalise the move quickly. They are prepared to pay 43 million in order to get the deal done. It remains to be seen whether the Belgian outfit is prepared to sanction his departure. They have previously stopped him from leaving the club, and it seems unlikely that they will stand in his way once again."
"Ordonez has shown his quality in the Belgian league and with his country. He will look to make his mark in English football if the move to Liverpool goes through. The young defender has the physicality and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League, and he could be a key player for Liverpool. They have done well to nurture young players in the past, and they could help him fulfil his potential."
Liverpool have moved to sign 21-year-old Ecuadorian centre-back Joel Ordonez from Club Brugge, with negotiations reportedly entering key hours and a proposed 43 million fee. Club Brugge previously blocked departures but may now allow Ordonez to join the Premier League. Ordonez has impressed in Belgium and internationally, showing physicality and technical ability suited to English football. Liverpool view him as an alternative to Ibrahima Konate, who has not extended his contract and could leave. Ordonez could strengthen a struggling Liverpool defence and benefit from Liverpool's track record of nurturing young players to fulfil his potential.
