Transfer: Chelsea complete signing of Pep Chavarria
Pep Chavarría is expected to sign through 2032 as Chelsea add a natural left-back after Marc Cucurella’s move to Real Madrid.
- Chelsea reached an agreement to sign Rayo Vallecano left-back Pep Chavarria for £25 million, as reported by Marca. The 28-year-old is already in England to sign a long-term contract at Stamford Bridge.
- The Blues targeted the Spaniard as a replacement for Marc Cucurella, who moved to Real Madrid for £51.8 million earlier this summer. Chavarria was prioritized because his profile fits manager Xabi Alonso's 3-4-3 formation.
- While Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen showed interest, the defender preferred the Premier League. Rayo Vallecano eased their initial £50 million release clause demands to complete the transfer.
- The deal marks the most expensive sale in the Spanish club's history, and Chelsea and Rayo are expected to announce the transfer "in the coming hours" once finalizing remaining details.
- Chavarria joins a busy Chelsea squad that also recently secured deals for Morgan Rogers, Maxence Lacroix, Marco Palestra, Danny Welbeck, and Valentin Barco, whose signing was announced on Sunday.
