Chelsea have offered £15m to sign 15-year-old talent Kendry Paez, joining Manchester United in the running.

Now, according to journalist Eduardo Erazo, via Sport Witness, Chelsea have been turned down a £15m offer for the 15-year-old Páez, an obscene amount of money for such a young player.
The Sport Witness report also claims that Manchester United are interested in the youngster.
For Chelsea to offer such a high fee for a player who doesn’t even play regularly at a senior level says a lot about the potential they see in him.
