After an agreement was finalised, the director OPENLY declares that the midfielder is moving to Chelsea.
The club director of Independiente del Valle has revealed that CHELSEA has won the bid to capture teenage phenom Kendry Paez from Ecuador.
Despite a competing offer from Manchester United, Morales has announced that an unofficial deal with Chelsea has been reached and Paez will join the Blues in two years after undergoing medical exams.
"The legal issue is now at hand." Kendry's age prevents us from signing a contract. Kendry will join Chelsea after two years, I can now confidently state, according to Morales, who spoke to El Canal del Futbol.
Borussia Dortmund, Manchester United, and, well, Chelsea were the teams that expressed the most interest in him among the offers we received for him. To conduct various tests, team representatives and the doctor arrived.
He explained the transaction and Paez in more detail to Studio Futbol last month, saying: "It is something that we have already been talking about on a few occasions, a few months ago." A specific interest from CHELSEA exists, and the parties have essentially agreed upon it.
"Legally, we are investigating our options; he is a 15-year-old boy, and FIFA forbids this kind of negotiation."
Until he turns 18 and leaves, we will have the good fortune to enjoy him for at least another two years.
'You have to see the legal issue and clearly a transfer contract cannot be made, maybe some arrangement, and that is what Chelsea is discovering both with their league, with their federation, and with FIFA to be able to control this transfer that would be unparalleled in Ecuadorian football. It'll be the first of many, we're positive.
I'm talking about all the guys from Ecuador who have the opportunity to make the transition at such a young age. I know that Kendry will be a great ambassador for all Ecuadorian athletes.
Because he is a terrific athlete and a great boy, you should enjoy yourself throughout these days and tournaments that people attend.
