Chelsea’s plan for Incoming Ecuadorian wonderkid Kendry Paez has been revealed by the London club, puting speculations over his future to rest.
As it stands, Chelsea has indicated that Paez will not be sent out on loan to BlueCo-owned Strasbourg in the summer, as any loan move is ruled out.
Chelsea completed the signing of Paez from the Ecuadorian club Independiente del Valle in 2023.
In the deal, it was agreed between the two clubs that the player will travel to London at the end of the 2024-25 campaign when he turns 18.
