"Ordonez is a player who is attracting interest from several Premier League clubs. "Liverpool, obviously we know about their defensive issues. He's been linked to Aston Villa who are also admirers of him and Newcastle as well have been keeping tabs on the Ecuador international's situation. "He's done very well for Club Brugge, playing in the Champions League, playing at the highest level and has been outstanding for Ecuador in their successful qualification to the World Cup."
"There was obviously speculation around his future in the summer, but Brugge managed to keep hold of him and tied him down to a new contract in September that runs until 2029. "I think that was done to try and protect his value amid the growing interest in his services. I don't see a deal happening in January."
Newcastle United are aiming to sign Ecuadorian central defender Joel Ordonez in the January transfer window while Liverpool and Aston Villa also show interest. Ordonez has played at the highest level for Club Brugge, featuring in the Champions League, and was instrumental in Ecuador's successful World Cup qualification. Club Brugge offered a new contract in September that runs until 2029 to protect his transfer value amid growing interest. Despite Premier League clubs' attention, a mid-season transfer looks unlikely given the long-term contract and Brugge's decision to retain him for now.
