Deinner Ordóñez to join Chelsea, Independiente del Valle earn $19m | OneFootball

Deinner Ordóñez will be a new Chelsea player, at the beginning of the year 2028. The young Ecuadorian defender will make the big leap to Europe to play for one of the most important teams in the world, leaving IDV with a significant economic gain.

According to Ekos' revelation, Independiente del Valle will earn over 19 million dollars from the transfer of Deinner Ordóñez. This is one of the most important sales in the history of Ecuadorian football.

Ordóñez had many suitors before finally making it to Europe. The young Ecuadorian center-back was pursued by teams like FC Barcelona, Liverpool, and even Benfica, who wanted to buy him. However, the player chose the team where Moisés Caicedo shines.

Meanwhile, Independiente del Valle continues to make milestones in Ecuadorian football by selling talents, who now don't even debut in the LigaPro or Copa Libertadores, and already have a secured future in Europe. Ordóñez has barely played in the youth categories of the Ecuador National Team.

In recent years, IDV has sold so many important players to Europe that they have accumulated over 100 million from these revenues. Their last two transfers were even of players who don't play in the first team, like Lerma and Ordóñez.

Chelsea is also betting on Ecuadorian talent, and it is not ruled out that Ordóñez will be the last tricolor they decide to sign. The club already has Moisés Caicedo and Kendry Páez in its ranks. But they have also inquired about players like Piero Hincapié or Joel Ordóñez before.
