“There is a possibility that Estevao Willian and Kendry Páez could be registered to play for Chelsea in the Club World Cup,” reported journalist Nizaar Kinsella, who follows the Blues on a daily basis. The next Club World Cup will be played in June 2025 and the entity chaired by Gianni Infantino will enable teams to register players earlier than usual.

Next year, Kendry Páez should join Chelsea after the end of the season in the Old Continent. Normally, clubs can officially register players after July 31, the date on which contracts usually end. However, as the Club World Cup will be played during the off-season, FIFA advanced the date so that the players can be part of the competition.

Does Kendry arrive and make his debut at Chelsea?

Since he was sold to Chelsea in June 2023, the London team was always very cautious about the situation of the Ecuadorian playmaker, who was signed with the Blues in mind for the future. However, Páez already traveled to England a couple of times during Mauricio Pochettino’s cycle and made a good impression.

However, with a team full of important figures and names, it will not be an easy task for the IDV jewel to earn a place on the team as soon as he arrives in football on the Old Continent. In fact, the London club has the habit of giving out its young promises signed from abroad so that they gain experience in Europe before playing at Stamford Bridge. For example, the Brazilian Andrey Santos was loaned to Racing de Strasbourg, from Ligue 1.

Kendry Páez was at Stamford Bridge to see Chelsea.

Now, as the Club World Cup will be played before the start of the 2025/26 season, this would allow Chelsea to test Páez during the tournament to be played in the United States and then transfer him, if deemed necessary, to another team so that add more minutes than he could have with the Blues.
