Liverpool are aiming to sign Joel Ordonez from Belgian club Brugge.
The 21-year-old has performed very well in the team and has attracted the attention of the first teams.
Liverpool need to bring in a quality central defender and the Ecuadorian international would be a great addition. According to ESPN Ecuador’s Ciobo Álvarez, the deal is entering a critical period and Liverpool want to complete the move quickly.
They are willing to pay £43m to get the deal done. It remains to be seen whether the Belgian national team is prepared to allow him to leave. They have prevented him from leaving the club before and are unlikely to stand in his way again.
The talented South American youngster will be attracted to the idea of a move to the Premier League. The opportunity to play for Liverpool will be very exciting for him.
Ibrahima Konate could leave the club at the end of the season, but he has not yet signed an extension with Liverpool. Liverpool have named the 21-year-old South American as a potential replacement for the France international.
Ordonez has proven his quality in the Belgian league and in his home country. If a move to Liverpool materializes, he will be looking to make his mark on English football. The young defender has the physical and technical attributes to excel in the Premier League and could become a key player for Liverpool. They have been successful in developing young players in the past and could help him reach his potential.
It has been a disappointing season so far for Liverpool, who have struggled defensively. Signing a 21-year-old could be a step in the right direction. He could help them tighten up the rear.
