Joel Ordóñez

Recent reports from August 2026 indicate negotiations involving Aston Villa and Crystal Palace were centered on deals valued around €30-33 million, with some reports suggesting packages worth up to approximately €35 million. Throughout this period, Club Brugge's asking price was consistently cited as £40 million (~€47 million) or higher, with some rumours claiming demands of up to €50 million. Earlier, in February 2026, it was widely reported that Club Brugge rejected a €40 million offer from Crystal Palace. Liverpool was linked with an informal agreement for £43 million (~€50.5 million) in January 2026 that did not proceed. Other top clubs like PSG, Chelsea, and Atlético Madrid have been linked with interest in the €35-45 million range. In summer 2025, a €30 million bid from Napoli was reportedly rejected.

Our valuation is driven by Club Brugge's consistent asking price, which is frequently reported to be at or above €40 million, a figure supported by a reportedly rejected bid from Crystal Palace in early 2026. The lower end of our range is established by numerous recent negotiations and bids from Aston Villa and Crystal Palace in the €30-35 million bracket. We estimate the most likely value for Joel Ordóñez at €35 million, factoring in reports that a recent injury may slightly lower the final fee from the club's peak valuation.
