"In coming weeks," a Chelsea transfer is anticipated to be completed. A player "has to be better than Messi in every way"
The 15-year-old will soon be making his next significant move because Chelsea are close to buying Kendra Páez from Independiente della Valle.
The Blues took quick action after the youthful Ecuador U17 international was heralded as the best player to emerge from South America in recent memory.
To assemble a team of players with a strong potential for long-term success, Todd Boehly seems to prefer making transfers of that nature to Chelsea these days. We'll have to wait and see if it succeeds, although some people are really enthusiastic about Páez, like Carlos Tenorio in an interview with Olé Ecuador.
The potential Chelsea star was the subject of extensive praise from the retired footballer, who even made some pretty big assertions. The deal is anticipated to be finalised "in the coming weeks."
When asked whether anyone came to mind when watching Kendry, he responded, "No player or human enjoys comparisons. I can tell you that Messi is a special player because he is left-footed, and Kendry is a special player because he is left-footed, too. However, Kendry has a little more mischief there, wisdom in the dribbling portion, and everything else, so we can't say that either of them looks like Messi.
"The fact that Kendry is Ecuadorian must already make us joyful. He has the potential to surpass both Leo Messi and Neymar, but it will depend on him and those around him.
