Chelsea is pursuing the acquisition of Rayo Vallecano’s 28‑year‑old left‑back, Pep Chavarria, as part of a strategy to replace the departed Marc Cucurella.
Chavarria has drawn attention in La Liga with his performances, and the move has been highlighted by the club’s manager as a specific target.
Negotiations are underway with the Spanish club, with Chelsea reportedly prepared to submit an offer in the region of €25 million, following a prior rejection of a €15 million bid.
The defender has already agreed personal terms with Chelsea, expressing enthusiasm about the prospect of competing in the Premier League.
Both sides are working to conclude the deal swiftly, allowing Chavarria to focus on his future and the club to secure a suitable replacement for Cucurella.
Rayo Vallecano will need to plan for the loss of a key defensive player, making a timely resolution essential for the club’s upcoming transfer window.
