Joel Ordonez, a defender from Club Brugge, is reportedly very close to signing with Chelsea. Reports from Ecuador indicate that the 20-year-old has made a significant impression since his transfer to Club Brugge from Independiente del Valle in 2022, and Chelsea is keen on bringing him to Stamford Bridge. According to Ecuadorian outlet Expreso, Ordonez is nearing a move to join his international team-mate Moises Caicedo at Chelsea. Additionally, Ole has reported that Chelsea dispatched scouts to observe Ordonez during his match against Aston Villa in the Champions League. Club Brugge is expected to demand a transfer fee of approximately €30 million for Ordonez.
