Summer promises to be hot at the Bruges club. After the solid performances in the Champions League this season, many key elements attract the interest of large European clubs. For some, the battle begins to take shape.
One of the players who highlighted this season is Joel Ordoñez. The Ecuadorian defender distinguished himself easily on the European scene, and at only 20 years old, he still has a good margin of progression.
This naturally attracts high -level foreign clubs, and one of them could take action very quickly. Arsenal, in particular, would be very seduced by Ordoñez and, according to Just Arsenal, has followed him closely for some time.
-Recruiters followed Ordoñez
Gunners recruiters have notably attended the matches against Antwerp and Genk, specifically to observe Ordoñez, and would have returned with very positive reports. Due to the strong competition, Arsenal could accelerate negotiations in order to be ahead of other clubs.
Liverpool, AC Milan, Chelsea, Brighton, Newcastle and Aston Villa would also closely follow the evolution of the young player. This keen interest would allow the Bruges club to aim very high with regard to the transfer compensation.
Blue and black would hoped for 40 to 45 million euros. This could make Joel Ordoñez the most expensive transfer in the history of the Belgian championship, a record currently held by Charles de Ketelaere, transferred to AC Milan for 36 million euros.
