Rayo Vallecano defender Pep Chavarria is expected to arrive in London today to undergo a medical and finalize his transfer to Chelsea. The news was reported by the Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo."
The 28-year-old footballer has been identified as the replacement for Marc Cucurella, who departed the Blues for Real Madrid earlier this summer during the World Cup.
The London club will pay Rayo Vallecano 19 million euros for the left-back. The deal also includes an additional two million euros in performance-related bonuses.
Chavarria joined Rayo Vallecano in 2022. Prior to that, he played for Figueres, Olot, and Real Zaragoza. He was part of the squad that reached last season's Conference League final, playing the full 90 minutes in their 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in the decisive match in Leipzig.
