On PSRwatch's ledger Kendry Páez costs Chelsea about £10m a year in 2026/27: £5m-£9m of wages (a PSRwatch estimate) and £3m of annual transfer-fee cost (apportioned). That is 1.4 percentage points of the club's squad-cost ratio, the 19th highest cost of 31 on the squad and 168th of 621 named players in the league. Book value remaining £19m; contract to 2033-06-30 (7 seasons left). Independent PSRwatch estimates, not official figures.
1.4 pts of the ratio at £693m of football income.
Central £7m. Gross pay before the player's own tax; bonuses and employer NI are not in it.
Unamortised transfer cost. Not what the player is worth; a sale above it is book profit.
To 2033-06-30, joined 2026-08-28.
£12m below book value.
