Joel Ordonez, a 21-year-old Ecuadorian centre-back, extended his contract at Jan Breydel Stadium after it was previously thought he would leave. Consequently, Club Brugge can ask for a high price in the upcoming summer. In the 2025/2026 Jupiler Pro League season, Ordóñez has made 23 appearances and scored 3 goals. The defender has 16 caps for Ecuador and has a current market value of €33.00m, according to Transfermarkt. Several clubs, including Olympique Marseille, Paris Saint Germain, and Liverpool, have been linked with him.
