Chelsea youngster Kendry Paez's River Plate loan may be terminated early

According to reporter Ben Jacobs, Chelsea's 18-year-old Ecuadorian midfielder Kendry Paez is likely to have his loan at Argentine club River Plate terminated this summer. Paez was initially loaned by Chelsea to Ligue 1 side Strasbourg, then moved to River Plate in January 2026 on a loan expected to last until the end of the year. However, he has accumulated less than 500 minutes of total playing time during his stint, prompting discussions between the parties about next steps. The report originates from Hupu, a Chinese sports community, citing Jacobs' information.
