Kendry Paez, an 18-year-old midfielder from Ecuador, has been loaned to Racing Club de Strasbourg Alsace for one season. He was purchased a month ago from Independiente del Valle by Chelsea. The club officially announced the loan move to Strasbourg, stating that it is intended to help him adapt to European football before he attempts to establish himself in the Premier League. This transfer is part of a busy summer for the Chelsea-Strasbourg connection, which has already facilitated similar moves for players like Mathis Amougou, Ishé Samuels-Smith, and Mike Penders. Paez's contract with Chelsea runs until 2033, and according to Transfermarkt, his market value is estimated to be €10.00m.
