While Atlético de Madrid will face Club Brugge in the Champions League play-offs, the Colchoneros have reportedly checked the name of Joël Ordonez for the summer transfer window. Real interest or simple attempt at destabilization?
On February 18 (in Belgium) and 24 (in Spain), Club Brugge and Atlético de Madrid will face off for a place in the round of 16 of the Champions League.
Despite huge offers at the end of the transfer window, the Blauw & Zwart managed to keep their executives who are Joël Ordonez, Raphael Onyedika and Christos Tzolis, and can therefore foresee an exploit against the Colchoneros.
Bruges therefore wants to play its season until the end and hopes to recover the coronation under the nose of the Union, but already suspects that this time it will be impossible to retain certain starters at the end of the season.
Bruges’ opponent in the Champions League, Atletico Madrid targets Joël Ordonez
Joël Ordonez, in particular, is more than likely living his last months at the Jan Breydelstadion, Club Brugge having rejected an offer from Crystal Palace valued at €40 million this winter.
Suitors are jostling for the Ecuadorian defender, and it would now be… Atlético de Madrid who would have checked his name for the summer transfer window, according to information from the Spanish media Transfers. Real interest or attempt at destabilization? The future will tell us if the Colchoneros will really go on the attack to recruit him.
