Kendry Páez will not continue at Club Atlético River Plate. The Ecuadorian winger, who arrived in early 2026, will not be considered by the coach and will seek a new team. Chelsea, who owns his rights, is already working on his exit, with Trabzonspor as a possible destination.
What happened with Páez at River Plate?
The young talent arrived with high expectations but failed to establish himself. In eight months, he showed flashes but did not explode as hoped. His future could be in Europe, near Mohamed Salah.
Why did he not continue at River?
Páez was part of the group of players who will not be considered for the new season. The club is looking to renew its squad after an irregular campaign, where it finished 6th with 22 points (6W-4D-6L) and a +5 goal difference.
What's next for the Ecuadorian?
Chelsea is evaluating options in Europe. Trabzonspor, Mohamed Salah's team, would be his main alternative. Páez will seek minutes and development in a new scenario.
The club from Núñez is already working on strengthening its offense for the next season, where it will aim to close the gap to leaders Rosario Central, 9 points ahead.
