Liverpool are looking to sign Joel Ordonez from Belgian club Bruges.
The 21-year-old has done quite well for them and has attracted the attention of top teams.
Liverpool need Joel Ordonez
Liverpool need to bring in a quality central defender, and the Ecuador International should prove to be an excellent addition. According to Chobo Alvarez of ESPN Ecuador, the deal has come at key times and Liverpool are hoping to complete the transfer quickly.
They are prepared to pay £43 million to complete the deal. It remains to be seen whether the Belgian team is ready to sanction his departure. They have already stopped him from leaving the club, and it seems unlikely that they will stand in his way again.
The talented young South American will be attracted by the idea of joining 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 and he is yet to sign an extension with Liverpool. Liverpool have identified the 21-year-old South American as an alternative to the France international.
Ordonez could shine at Liverpool
Ordonez has shown his quality in the Belgian championship and with his country. He will look to make his mark in English football if the move to Liverpool goes through. The young defender has the physique and technical qualities to succeed in the Premier League, and he could be a key player for Liverpool. They have done well in developing young players in the past and could help him realize his potential.
It’s been a disappointing season for Liverpool so far, and they’ve struggled with their defense. The signing of the 21-year-old could be a step in the right direction. He could help them tighten up at the back.
