In a move that has shaken up the international transfer market, River Plate has reached a full agreement with Chelsea for the signing of Kendry PĂĄez. The Ecuadorian gem, considered one of the most promising young talents on the planet, will join Marcelo Gallardoâs team after a strategic interruption of his loan at French side Strasbourg.
The London club, which owns his rights, decided to withdraw the 18-year-old midfielder from the French league due to the arrival of new talents at the French club. After evaluating various options for his development, Chelsea determined that the competitive environment at River Plate and the guidance of âEl Muñecoâ are the ideal solution for his growth. The agreement was finalized as a full-season loan, which ensures that PĂĄez will play both in the domestic league and the Copa Libertadores with the red band.
Kendry PĂĄez is expected to land in the Argentine capital in the coming hours to undergo the required medical examinations. His arrival is generating unprecedented excitement in NĂșñez, as the Ecuadorian will bring the creativity and unpredictability the squad needs after recent injuries. With this signing, River not only strengthens its attack, but also becomes the epicenter of attention from European football, which will closely follow the evolution of its young star in South America.
