FOOTBALL – Chelsea have signed Spanish left back Pep Chavarria from Rayo Vallecano on a deal until 2031, the Premier League club said yesterday.
British media reported that Chelsea had paid an initial £16.3 million ($22.02m) with a further £1.7m in add-ons for the 28-year-old.
“This is a dream for me as Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the world. It is a big opportunity but I am prepared and will work hard to help the team achieve success,” Chavarria said in a statement. Chavarria played for Figueres, Olot and Zaragoza in the lower tiers of Spanish football before joining Rayo Vallecano in 2022.
