A generational talent from Independiente del Valle's academy, Páez scored on his professional debut at 15 in 2023, becoming the youngest debutant and scorer in Ecuadorian top-flight history. Chelsea agreed to sign him before he had even turned 16, and he is now on loan at River Plate via Strasbourg. A creative attacking midfielder who cites Messi and Gonzalo Plata as idols, he is Ecuador's brightest young prospect.
