This says The National Cat on the probable destination of Páez: “Real Madrid has identified a new target in South America. After signing Endrick, and fighting for Vitor Roque (both from Brazil), this time Juni Calafat (headhunter) has recommended the signing of another jewel to Florentino Pérez (merengue president).

A world crack future
Follow the note signed by Dani Serrano: “His name is Kendry Páez, and although he is still unknown, he is destined to become one of the best cracks of the planet. Because at only 15 years old (cadet division age) he is already part of the first team of Independiente del Valle, his current club. He has not yet been able to make his professional debut, although he has entered a call-up, and it is expected that he will soon be able to play his first game. The expectations that exist with him are very high”.
There is a plugin AS: “Chelsea, a group chaired by Todd Boehly, already sent an offer (for Páez) of 16 million euros ($17.1 million) that Independiente rejected. According to sources consulted by ASthe Ecuadorian club has no intention of selling its next star this year”.
The Catalan media, meanwhile, refers to Kendry Páez that “at the Santiago Bernabéu they have asked about the starting price they have placed on him, which right now would range between 10 million ($10.7 million) and 15 million euros (17 million). An important investment”.
It would arrive in 2025
According The National Cat, At Real Madrid “they are forced to make a quick decision, otherwise they risk seeing Newcastle United take the lead. Mohammed bin Salmán has also received very favorable reports from scouts, suggesting that Páez is a pearl that has all the skills necessary to succeed in the elite, and that everything they ask is worth paying. And he would already be moving to secure his signature, even though he might not land until 2025, when he comes of age.”
Supposedly “Jürgen Klopp is also very attentive to Kendry. Liverpool has prepared the portfolio to close this operation. They see the ‘new Moisés Caicedo’ in Páez, another Ecuadorian talent who is marveling in England, after being discovered by Brighton”.
The Catalan newspaper describes the “jewel of Ecuador” this way: “He acts as a midfielder or attacking midfielder, and has already been an under-17 international with his team, Ecuador, playing in three games and scoring three times. He stands out for how easy it is for him to reach the rival box, and also for his incredible talent and vision of the game that he has”. (D)
