Chelsea has inked a’summer bargain’ after the agreement has been verified.
CHELSEA have confirmed the signing of South American wonderkid Kendry Paez at a bargain.
Since Ted Boehly’s arrival at the club last summer, the team has spent a lot of money on some of the top young players in the league right now.
It is apparent that the American has a long-term plan at Stamford Bridge and has ensured that we have beaten off their rivals for those skills – and it appears that they have done so yet again with the potential signing of Paez.
The midfielder is expected to cost the club approximately £20 million, with any possible sum sure to climb based on his performances up until his 18th birthday.
Paez’s club, Independiente del Valle, has now revealed that Chelsea will pay less for him.
“Because of what the country is experiencing, I would not dare to give the amounts for the transfer of Kendry Paez to Chelsea,” he told Mach Deportes.
“But it is not the $20 million that is being talked about, it’s a smaller amount.”
It’s a huge decision for the lad, as it may make or ruin his Premier League future.’
But, if he can adjust to the English way of life – the Premier League and the pressures of playing for a team like Chelsea – he might be a very interesting acquisition for fans to watch.
This is a significant step for him, and we all hope that it is the correct one.
![### David Luiz Set for a Chelsea Reunion at the 2025 Club World Cup Former Chelsea defender David Luiz is on course for a high-profile reunion with his old club at the 2025 Club World Cup. Now 37 years old, Luiz plays for Flamengo in Brazil and is likely to face Chelsea as the two clubs compete in Group D, which also includes Esperance and Club Leon. Despite nearing the twilight of his career, Luiz has been a regular feature for Flamengo, making 34 appearances in the last year, including 22 starts. Talks are reportedly ongoing for a contract extension, signaling Luiz's intent to continue playing at the highest level. ### From Chelsea to Arsenal and Beyond Luiz enjoyed two successful spells at Chelsea, making 248 appearances and winning multiple trophies, including the Champions League in 2012 and the Premier League in 2017. His move to Arsenal in 2019 surprised many due to the intense rivalry between the London clubs. Luiz, however, explained the decision as a personal and professional step forward. > "It is always quite hard because of their rivalry, but I took the decision to leave Chelsea before I got Arsenal’s proposal... I saw this as a possibility to write a new story in a new place, but I am also eternally grateful to Chelsea." Luiz maintains a deep respect and affection for Chelsea, acknowledging the friendships and memories he built during his time at Stamford Bridge. ### A Sentimental Reunion Facing Chelsea will undoubtedly be an emotional moment for Luiz. Reflecting on his time at the club, he stated: > "Of course, it will be different [to play against Chelsea]. I have enormous affection for Chelsea, where I got titles, developed [as a player], and made great friends. But today I play for Flamengo, and I will always give my best effort to honour the shirt I am wearing." The 2025 Club World Cup promises an intriguing narrative as Luiz and Flamengo square off against Chelsea, with the veteran defender seeking to make an impact in what could be one of the final chapters of his illustrious career.](https://futaa.online/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Its-Chelsea-81-360x180.jpg)
