According to the Daily Mail, Chelsea is interested in Ecuadorian 15-year-old defender Odonetz, and the valley is independently estimated at 14 million pounds.

Odonetz was born on October 29, 2009 and is now playing for Valley Independence. The team has trained players such as Kesedo, Inkapier, and Pes. Odonetz, who is only 15 years old, played for the Ecuador U20 team at this year's U20 South America Championship and performed well. The Post said that Chelsea had negotiated on Odonez's transfer, and the player's performance has attracted the attention of Liverpool scouts and Spanish and German clubs.

Odonez is a right-footed player. He is often placed in the left central defender position. He has a good ball ability and the ability to build offense from the backcourt. He has strong air control ability, but his physical fitness needs to be improved.

Valley Independence is willing to sell Odonetz, similar to Pais's previous transfer method. Pais joined Chelsea at the age of 16 and officially left the Valley Independence this year. Odonetz will not turn 18 until October 2027, but there are rumors that Valley Independent estimates the young player about £14 million (including surcharges).

Chelsea has been steadfast in pursuing global stardom, and Odonez is one of the players recently discussed and is evaluating whether they are formally engaged.
