Why Kendry Páez's dip in form stopped him shining at River | OneFootball

He arrived as Marcelo Gallardo’s last gamble at River and ended up being one of the players dropped for the second half of the season. While his future is being decided and he trains at the Cantilo complex, people in Ecuador spoke about Kendry Páez and made a major revelation about the 19-year-old, who belongs to Chelsea in England.

The attacking midfielder, who arrived on loan until the middle of next year, is one of those included on River’s long list of sidelined players. In total, he played 14 matches for CARP, including one start in the Superclásico loss to Boca at the Monumental. With a very inconsistent level, he scored just one goal.

After having been called up for the World Cup to represent La Tri, when the team was still managed by Sebastián Beccacece, Páez’s future is up in the air. After River’s decision to stop counting on him, he was linked with clubs in Belgium and also with Salah’s Trabzonspor. However, Chelsea still has not made its position clear, and there are ten days left in the European transfer window…

This Thursday, the one who spoke out about Kendry Páez’s current situation was Michel Deller, the man behind the successful Independiente del Valle project, the club where the attacking midfielder completed his development and made his debut when he was just 15 years old.

“Kendry is one of our own (IDV), and we care about him deeply. He is a good kid who has had a hard time and has made decisions that have complicated his life,” the executive said in an interview with Hincha Amarillo.

“We always hope that he can once again fully showcase the talent he has, which is exceptional. But at this point in his life, it is up to him. He knows what he has to do,” Deller added.

Looking ahead, he also issued a warning for the player. “Opportunities are limited. God willing, may he mature and reach his best version,”
