Manchester United are set to submit a new bid for Independiente Del Valle midfielder Kendry Paez after having a previous offer rejected.
According to Tribal Football, Manchester United are set to submit a bid for Kendry Paez, the 15-year-old sensation from Ecuador. The youngster is already likened to Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo. And the Red Devils want to take an early lead in the chase.
The trend of tracking South American prodigies at a very young age is growing among European clubs, and there seems to be a big market. Some of the biggest outfits from the continent are consistently keeping tabs on a few of the brightest prospects, hoping to lure them in at an early stage.
As with most South American nations, a player will only move out of their country after he turns 18. Yet, some of the biggest clubs are willing to remain patient about the player’s arrival but want to tie up a deal in the present market.
Signing up a player at an early age represents a solid risk-reward strategy. As the scouting remains excellent, there is the element of not knowing exactly how the player will perform when he comes of age. Yet, clubs are prepared to pay big money for prospects, even though they may end up flopping on the European stage.
Kendry Paez (‘10’ in IDV) is ridiculous.

Real Madrid recently agreed on a deal for Palmeiras prospect Endrick, where they will pay a fee of around €60 million, including add-ons. It is a huge sum for an untested 16-year-old, who will only join the Spanish side two years later.
Manchester United were also keen on signing Endrick. But the Brazilian is not the only player from that continent on their radar. The Red Devils are also reportedly tracking 15-year-old South American sensation Kendry Paez. The midfielder plays for Independiente Del Valle in Ecuador.
Paez is likened to Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo, who has taken the Premier League by storm. Manchester United had reportedly seen a previous bid for the 15-year-old South American sensation get rejected by the Ecuadorian club. But they are set to make another attempt.
Manchester United will reportedly make a fresh bid to lure the prodigious talent to England and hope Independiente Del Valle accept their proposal. The Ecuadorian outfit are likely to demand a sizeable fee for their prospect, which the Premier League giants may end up splashing out.
Paez is not the last talent European or English bigwigs like Manchester United will target, and other youngsters from South America are currently on their radar. A successful career away from his homeland will depend on how the 15-year-old develops at his future clubs.
