Liverpool is reportedly eyeing the potential transfer of Club Brugge central defender Joel Ordonez, who has long been on their radar.

Previously, it was noted that Liverpool's interest in Ordonez had cooled, with Newcastle United emerging as a more likely suitor. However, the dynamic nature of the football transfer market has prompted a resurgence of interest in the talented 22-year-old following the departure of Ibrahima Konate at the end of his contract.

According to TEAMtalk, Liverpool is now considering Ordonez as one of their top targets to bolster their defense under new manager Andoni Iraola, who is set to take over from Arne Slot.

Key points from the report include:

• Ordonez has impressed numerous top Premier League clubs.
• His performances in the Belgian top flight have showcased his potential.
• A transfer to a top English club would represent a significant step up for him.

Liverpool may need to pursue more than one defensive signing this summer. Konate's exit follows a dip in form from the ageing Virgil van Dijk, highlighting the necessity for reinforcements.

While Ordonez could be viewed as a long-term investment, there may also be an opportunity for Liverpool to sign another experienced defender to complement him.

As the season has just concluded, Liverpool’s transfer plans appear to be taking shape, with Ordonez emerging as a promising option.
