Chelsea is considering selling or loaning Kendry Paez again due to his unsuccessful loan spells and lack of first-team appearances. The club has not been happy with his performance and behavior, according to reports from their U21 manager. Paez has been playing with Chelsea's Under-21 side since returning in the summer. His loan moves to Strasbourg and River Plate were terminated early.
Paez's loan spells were marked by concerns over his professionalism and lifestyle choices. At Strasbourg, he scored just one goal in 21 appearances, with only four starts in Ligue 1. River Plate also terminated his loan early, citing concerns over his on-field and off-field behavior, according to Argentine reporter Renzo Pantich.
Despite a recent bright performance for Chelsea's Under-21s against Liverpool, where he provided an assist and won 57% of the fan vote for Man of the Match on Sofascore, the club's perception of Paez remains negative. Paez is reportedly ready to leave Chelsea in the January transfer window, and another loan or permanent transfer is now being considered.

Source context
Alongside Estevao Willian, Kendry Paez was meant to be the next big thing at Chelsea. However, it has not worked out for the young attacker. Neither of Paez’s loan moves have gone to plan, while he is yet to make an appearance for Chelsea’s first team. That will not be changing any time soon. In fact, it may not change at all. In a disappointing development, Chelsea seem to have lost patience with Paez. Another loan move or permanent transfer now appears to be on the horizon.
