The London club is negotiating with Rayo Vallecano to sign experienced full-back Pep Chavarría, the second reinforcement of the Xabi Alonso era after Cucurella's departure.
Chelsea are in advanced negotiations with Rayo Vallecano to sign 28-year-old left-back/left winger Pep Chavarría. The agreement aims to reinforce the squad under the command of Xabi Alonso, especially after the departure of Marc Cucurella to Real Madrid for 55 million euros. Sources close to the London club indicate confidence in closing the deal, which would represent the second reinforcement of the Xabi Alonso era.
The move reinforces Chelsea's strategy of investing heavily to return to being a protagonist in the Premier League, focusing on key positions such as left-back. The signing of Chavarría also aligns the club with Alonso's philosophy, which prioritizes versatile and experienced players. Rayo Vallecano, in turn, sees the transfer as an opportunity to reinforce its finances and renew its squad, after losing one of its main players.
"Chelsea is determined to return to the top of the Premier League and each signing reflects that ambition," said an unnamed official at the London club. What to expect now: The deal is expected to close in the coming days, with Chelsea looking to complete the transfer before the start of pre-season. The club is still analyzing other options for the sector, but Chavarría appears as the main priority. Read at Trivela
