Joel Ordoñez, a promising young Ecuadorian defender from Club Brugge, is reportedly nearing a transfer to Chelsea FC. According to the Ecuadorian media outlet 'Expreso', there is a possibility that the move to Stamford Bridge could be finalized as early as January. Chelsea is showing particular interest in acquiring young players with high potential, like Ordoñez, who might join fellow Ecuadorian Moises Caicedo at the club. Nevertheless, 'Olé' has indicated that the current situation involves intensive scouting activities, and a transfer agreement has yet to be reached. The expected transfer fee is approximately 30 million euros.

Chelsea FC is also interested in Joel Ordoñez. The club is known for targeting young talents and signing them to long-term contracts. Scouts from Chelsea have watched him live during a Champions League match against Aston Villa. Club Brugge is aiming for a transfer fee of around 30 million euros, which would make Ordoñez the most expensive departing defender in the Jupiler Pro League history.

Joel Ordonez, a promising 20-year-old, has caught attention in the Champions League due to his defensive skills, physical prowess, and technique. His market value is currently estimated at around 9 million euros, but it is anticipated to increase significantly. Tomas Taecke, a clubwatcher for Het Laatste Nieuws, expressed his belief that Ordonez will not be leaving next summer for less than 20 million euros. There was already interest in Ordonez last summer, and he is reportedly being monitored by numerous clubs. Despite Club Brugge's decision to extend his contract until 2028, they were hesitant to let him leave last summer. Nevertheless, Ordonez appears to be open to a transfer.

Joel Ordoñez, a standout player in the match against Dortmund, is expected to attract significant interest from various clubs. Being only 20 years old, he could potentially bring in a substantial transfer fee for Club Brugge.
