<p>The Blues finalised the signing of Paez from Ecuadorian club Independiente del Valle in 2023. The two clubs agreed that the player will travel to London at the end of the 2024-25 campaign when he turns 18. Ahead of his formal move to Stamford Bridge in the summer, the player is currently training in France at Chelsea's sister club Strasbourg to understand the methods of head coach Liam Rosenior, according to <a href="https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1909560814576542157" target="_blank"><em>Fabrizio Romano</em></a>.
