According to Tuttomercato, Milan and Inter are interested in signing Ordonez from Club Brugge. The player could have moved a summer ago, and Milan and especially Inter had been interested. Club Brugge is an expensive club to buy from. Ordonez is a left-footed center-back born in 2004.

AC Milan is interested in Joel Ordóñez as a central defensive reinforcement due to possible departures of Malick Thiaw and Fikayo Tomori. The 21-year-old Ecuadorian, who currently plays for Club Brugge, is on Milan's shortlist as they seek to bolster their defense. However, Milan faces competition from several Premier League clubs including Tottenham, West Ham, Nottingham, and Fulham, as well as interest from PSG. The Rossoneri aim to secure Ordóñez amid a competitive transfer market. Transfermarkt currently estimates his market worth at 28.00 million euros.
