Joel Ordóñez

In August/September 2026, a transfer to Crystal Palace was reportedly agreed at values between €30 million and €33 million (including bonuses) before it collapsed. During the same period, Aston Villa was linked with offers just under €30 million, while Club Brugge's asking price was reported to be around £40 million (approx. €47 million). A key data point is the widely reported rejected bid of €40 million from Crystal Palace in January 2026. Throughout 2025 and 2026, various reports linked him to top clubs with valuations frequently cited between €35 million and €50 million. In August 2025, a bid from Marseille for around €30 million was reportedly rejected. His last completed transfer was from Independiente del Valle to Club Brugge II in August 2022 for a reported €3.9 million.

Our valuation is driven by the very concrete, near-completed transfer of Joel Ordóñez to Crystal Palace in August 2026, which collapsed due to a failed medical but was consistently valued at €30-33 million. This figure establishes a firm floor. The upper end of our range is defined by the widely reported €40 million offer from Crystal Palace in January 2026, which Club Brugge's director confirmed was rejected, demonstrating the club's high valuation.
