Chelsea pays 20 million euros for a 15-year-old

Chelsea are close to signing 15-year-old Ecuadorian talent Kendry Paez from Independiente del Valle. The "Blues" from London will pay 20 million euros for the young midfielder, but he will not move to "Stamford Bridge" until 2026, when he turns 18.

The two clubs have already agreed on all the details of the transfer. The deal is expected to be finalized by the end of the week. Paez has 3 appearances and 1 goal for Independiente. He shone at the South American Under-17 Championship, and Borussia (Dortmund) were also interested in him, but Chelsea acted faster.
