KV Mechelen is possibly on the verge of signing Kendry Paez. The Ecuadorian top talent is on his way to signing a contract with Chelsea, but the London club wants Paez to gain experience in another competition first.
What happened?
Kendry Paez is one of the most promising young players from Ecuador. He has already attracted the attention of several top clubs in Europe, including Chelsea.
Why is this important for KV Mechelen?
If KV Mechelen manages to sign Kendry Paez, it would be a big step forward for the club. Paez has already proven himself to be a top player and would be a great addition to KV Mechelen's squad.
What comes next?
It is still unclear if Kendry Paez will actually join KV Mechelen. The club still needs to negotiate with Chelsea and Paez himself. But if it succeeds, it would be a big win for KV Mechelen.
