Chelsea have moved a significant step closer to signing Pep Chavarría, with the Blues reportedly reaching an agreement on personal terms with the Spanish left-back as they continue reshaping their squad under new manager Xabi Alonso.
According to reports, Chavarría has already given Chelsea the green light and is keen to make the move to Stamford Bridge. The 27-year-old is said to be excited by the opportunity to work under Alonso, making the London club his preferred destination this summer.
Chelsea have prioritised the signing of a new left-back following the departure of Marc Cucurella to Real Madrid, leaving Xabi Alonso eager to strengthen that area of the squad ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
With the player’s side of the deal now agreed, negotiations have shifted to discussions between Chelsea and Rayo Vallecano, where talks are understood to be progressing well.
The transfer is believed to be close to completion, with both clubs working to finalise the remaining details before an official agreement is reached, Softfootball understands.
If completed, the Spaniard would become another important addition to Alonso’s rebuilding project as Chelsea continue an active summer transfer window aimed at returning the club to the top of English and European football.
