Early Career
Born in Guayaquil, Páez began his career with local side Barcelona SC's youth department Academia Alfaro Moreno at the age of five.
Barcelona SC was offered the chance to register Páez at the age of eight, but the club did not sign him as it was "too hard for a president to pay for a player at this age".
He later had a short stint at Emelec before moving to Patria, where he started to feature more regularly as a forward.
