Chelsea and Inter Milan have burst onto the scene in the race for Joel Ordoñez, one of the most sought-after young defenders at the moment and an emerging figure from Club Bruges.

The Ecuadorian center-back, who is also of interest to Newcastle United, is attracting Europe's attention thanks to his tactical maturity, composure on the field, and performance on big international stages, as reported by Flashscore.

Inter Milan Advancing for Joel Ordoñez

Inter Milan has positioned itself as one of the most determined clubs in the bidding war for Joel Ordoñez, convinced that his defensive style fits perfectly in Serie A.

The management believes the Ecuadorian has room for growth and can become a defensive leader in the next few years, which is why they are already working to persuade the player that his leap should be to Italy and not England.

Despite his youth, Ordoñez has already shown character against top-level rivals such as Bayern Munich or Barcelona, actions that have increased his market value and make it challenging for Club Bruges to retain him beyond this season.

Chelsea Joins the Battle for the Signing

The emergence of Chelsea complicates the operation further, as the Londoners seek to reinforce their defensive line for the upcoming transfer market and see Joel Ordoñez as a long-term project.

The English club is undergoing a deep renewal that prioritizes young talent, and the profile of the Ecuadorian fits into the reconstruction idea. Moreover, Chelsea's monitoring of the player has been ongoing for months, although they have only now decided to enter the fray strongly.

Newcastle United, analyzing the possibility of securing new promising signings, also maintains a strong interest in Ordoñez, whom they have been following since the previous season.

A Highly Valued Defender in Full Blossom

At just 21 years old, Joel Ordoñez is already established at Club Bruges and has signed a contract until 2029, allowing the Belgian club to demand a high fee for his departure.

The defender stands out for his speed, defensive reading, and ability to adapt to different tactical systems, qualities that have sparked the interest of elite clubs.

Furthermore, his call-up for Ecuador to face Canada reflects the player's growth, as he aims to be part of the squad for next summer's World Cup.

Newcastle United and Other Clubs Remain Watchful

Newcastle United considers Joel Ordoñez a strategic future investment and is not willing to exit the race, although they acknowledge that competing with Chelsea and Inter Milan will be challenging.

West Ham United and Aston Villa have also shown interest, but their priority is to reinforce the defense in 2026, giving them less room against clubs looking to expedite the operation.

Meanwhile, Club Bruges is gearing up for a market battle and understands that their player will be among the most sought-after names in the coming football year.

A Future Pointing to a Great Leap

The evolution of Joel Ordoñez indicates that his departure is a matter of time, and the main question is whether the transfer will occur before or after the World Cup. His participation with Ecuador could further increase his value.

With Chelsea and Inter Milan as leading candidates, and Newcastle United pressing not to be left out, the Ecuadorian center-back emerges as one of the most attractive signings in the upcoming market.

All signs point to hearing a lot about his future in the coming months, while Chelsea and Inter Milan continue their battle to secure the signing of the new talent emerged from Club Bruges.
