Ecuadorian midfielder Kendry Páez arrived in Argentina, passed medical exams, and signed his contract with River Plate. A prestigious French newspaper criticized his behavior during his time at Strasbourg. Club staff welcomed him at Ezeiza International Airport to guide him through the incorporation process.
Kendry Páez, the young Ecuadorian midfielder, landed at Ezeiza International Airport on January 30, 2026, where he was greeted by River Plate staff from the Núñez club. Upon arrival, Páez underwent the required medical examinations and signed his contract as the new reinforcement for the Millonario, a key step in his career.
However, his signing has not been without controversy. A prestigious French newspaper noted that Páez did not leave a good impression at Strasbourg, where he previously played. Journalists from the outlet directly criticized his behavior, highlighting attitudes that drew ire from former teammates and club staff in France.
River Plate views Páez as a promising talent to bolster their squad, despite the shadows from his European stint. The 18-year-old arrives with high expectations in the Argentine transfer market, though divided opinions on his professionalism may affect his adaptation to the team.
