Chelsea plans improved bid for Rayo Vallecano's Pep Chavarria

Summary

Chelsea is set to submit an enhanced bid, approximately €25 million including bonuses, for Rayo Vallecano left-back Pep Chavarria. The 27-year-old has already agreed in principle to personal terms and is eager for a move to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea's initial offer of under €15 million was rejected. The Spanish club seeks a guaranteed fee closer to €25 million, with negotiations overseen by president Raul Martin Presa.
