Chelsea are close to completing a deal to sign defender Pep Chavarria from Rayo Vallecano, with multiple reports citing an agreement between the clubs after extended negotiations. The Athletic says Chavarria has agreed personal terms with Chelsea, suggesting the remaining steps focus on formalities between the Premier League club and Rayo Vallecano. The same reporting indicates Chavarria is expected to be allowed to travel for a medical once the club agreement is finalised.
Other outlets report the negotiations are nearing completion and reference a fee of about £16.3 million for the transfer. BBC News and Yahoo Sports both describe Chelsea as close to reaching an arrangement with Rayo over the move. Together, the accounts indicate that the player-side terms are already in place and that Chelsea’s process now moves toward medical and final confirmation. No reports included here detail the contract length, salary, or whether any add-ons are included in the reported transfer value.
