The Blues announced the purchase of Kendry Páez, an Ecuadorian just 16 years old who plays for Independiente del Valle, for a figure close to 20 million euros.
The Under 20 World Cup usually shows young promises with projection that after the competition make the leap. In this case, it has not yet ended and the transfer is not given exclusively due to his performance since they had been following him. This is Kendry Páez, a player from Independiente del Valle who is only 16 years old.
The striker was chosen by Miguel Ángel Bravo to join the Tri squad in Argentina and played all four games as a starter. He scored against Fiji in a 9-0 win and became the youngest to score in a youth world cup. Chelsea did not hesitate and put close to 20 million dollars on the table to ensure it.
Of course, the Ecuadorian will only join the Blues at the beginning of the 2025 season when he is already 18 years old. A commitment to the future and great potential for the midfielder who in the meantime will continue to play in the local league where he has already played 6 games and scored.
