Liverpool are looking to improve their defensive unit with the signing of Ecuador international defender Joel Ordonez from Club Brugge.
The 21-year-old central defender has done quite well for the Belgian club and Liverpool are considering Ordonez as an option to improve their defensive unit.
They looked vulnerable last season and will also need to replace Ibrahima Konate at the end of the season. The France international will soon be a free agent and Liverpool must start planning for life without him.
Liverpool could use Joel Ordonez
The 21-year-old Ecuador International could prove to be a great addition. He has proven himself in Belgium and he has also done very well at international level with his country. Ordonez has been called “outstanding” in the past. He has also been linked with Chelsea.
He has the physicality and technical qualities of English football, and Liverpool are prepared to break the bank for him. According to a report from Bolavip, Liverpool are willing to pay around €40 million for the defender. They are ready to offer him a huge salary above 3 million euros per season.
Ordonez could fancy a move to Liverpool
The defender will be attracted by the idea of joining the Premier League champions. This would be a huge opportunity for him and he will be looking to prove himself in England. The money offered is also very tempting for the player. It remains to be seen whether his club is ready to accept the €40 million offer when it is presented.
Liverpool are expected to look to complete the deal in January. They have been in dire form in recent weeks and they will be looking to get their season back on track. Signing the right players in January could help them bounce back strongly.
