Kendry Paez, a 15-year-old sensation from Ecuador, was once Chelsea's golden boy. They paid €10 million for him, seeing a bright future. But things haven't gone as planned. Paez moved to Strasbourg, a sister club, hoping to shine in Europe. Instead, he's been struggling to adapt and impress.
Paez's future is now uncertain. He's been on the bench in important games like the Europa League and Coupe de France. This makes people wonder if he'll even finish the season in France. His lifestyle has also come under scrutiny, adding to the doubts about his career path.
At just 15, Paez has plenty of talent. But his start in Europe has been far from perfect. The idea of him joining Chelsea's first team next season seems unlikely. He might need to play at a lower level first to find his footing. It could be years before we see him at Stamford Bridge.
Meanwhile, other young players like Sam Rak-Sakyi might be on the move. But Chelsea's focus seems to be on selling rather than buying. If they do buy, it will likely be a young player for the future, not a big-name star.
