Chelsea has reached a definitive agreement with Rayo Vallecano for the transfer of Pep Chavarría, the 28-year-old left back, this summer. It is one of the signings requested by Xabi Alonso to strengthen his defensive rotation.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the deal has been closed for a fixed fee of 19 million euros plus 2 million euros in variables, and the player will travel immediately to London for medical examinations before signing his contract.

Sale Conditions between Rayo Vallecano and the English Club

The sale of the 28-year-old full-back will bring a direct income of 19 million euros to Rayo Vallecano, in addition to 2 million euros based on sporting objectives. The Madrid board gave the final approval for the transfer after meeting the requirements set for the defender's departure in this transfer window.

The Spanish player will travel to England in the coming hours to complete the necessary medical examination with the Blues. Once the physical tests are passed, the full-back will sign his contract formally linking him to Stamford Bridge's squad.

The Role of the Full-Back in Xabi Alonso's System

Chavarría's addition addresses Chelsea's need to cover the vacancy left on the left flank by Marc Cucurella's transfer to Real Madrid. Coach Xabi Alonso was looking for a natural alternative for the left-wing that provides offensive depth in the Premier League.

The Spaniard will compete for the starting position with Jorrel Hato, a center-back converted to the full-back position, offering the coaching staff a defensively promising profile with more space projection. With this move, the London leadership considers the defensive position covered before the official start of the league championship.

Chelsea is set to officially present Pep Chavarría on Friday, August 7, 2026, after signing the contractual documentation. The new Chelsea full-back will immediately be under Xabi Alonso's orders to integrate into the group dynamics in the training sessions prior to the start of the competition.
