Chelsea have lodged their second offer to sign Rayo Vallecano left-back Pep Chavarria as they look to get a deal over the line, according to reports.<\/p>\n
The Blues finished tenth in the Premier League last term as Chelsea<\/strong> sacked both Enzo Maresca and Liam Rosenior in a turbulent campaign.<\/p>\n There were concerns that their failure to qualify for Europe would have a dramatic impact on their squad with some players tipped to leave.<\/p>\n So far, Marc Cucurella is the only major star to leave Stamford Bridge with the Spain international completing a deal worth around \u20ac60m, although there are rumours that Enzo Fernadez could follow his former team-mate out of the door.<\/p>\n That has left Chelsea short of a top-class left-back with Rayo Vallecano\u2019s Chavarria emerging as their top target to replace Cucurella.<\/p>\n Italian transfer insider Fabrizio Romano revealed recently that personal terms have been agreed with Chavarria and that a new bid is on the way after their first offer was turned down.<\/p>\n READ: Romano gives \u2018here we go\u2019 to Chelsea transfer in ninth deal of the summer window<\/strong><\/p>\n Romano said on his YouTube channel<\/strong>: \u201cPep Chavarria is ready to go to Chelsea, has an agreement on personal terms, the left-back from Rayo Vallecano.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd Chelsea, from what I understand, are ready to send a new official bid in the next days.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, Chelsea will return to the table with a new proposal for Chavarr\u00eda and could be the next signing for Chelsea, in terms of full-backs after Marco Palestra on the right.\u201d<\/p>\n And now Chelsea insider Simon Phillips has confirmed on his Substack<\/em> that \u2018personal terms with the player are agreed\u2019 and that the Blues have made a second offer, which he speculates is worth \u00a315m.<\/p>\n That offer is much higher than their opening \u00a39m bid but it still falls short of Rayo Vallecano\u2019s \u00a321m asking price, and it remains to be seen if it will be accepted.<\/p>\n Another player who could leave this summer is former Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho \u2013 but Romano insists Chelsea won\u2019t entertain any loan offers.<\/p>\n READ: Ornstein reveals Man Utd \u2018agreement\u2019 for second summer signing with \u2018medical permission given\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n Romano added<\/strong>: \u201cThere is a possibility for Alejandro Garnacho to be on the move in this summer transfer window. It\u2019s not something 100% guaranteed yet, also because the pre-season is about to start. Garnacho is not at the World Cup, so he will have the possibility to work under Xabi Alonso, and let\u2019s see what happens there.<\/p>\n \u201cBut in case of a permanent deal proposal on the table, Chelsea could open doors to the exit of Garnacho. Just one year after his arrival from Manchester United, Chelsea could be open to making a switch and letting Garnacho go in this summer transfer window. So I would keep the doors open for the future of Garnacho for sure.<\/p>\n \u201cChelsea today, July, are not accepting a loan deal for Garnacho\u2014permanent or nothing. Then at the end of the window, we never know what happens because sometimes, as I always say in the market, it\u2019s not just for Chelsea, it\u2019s not just for Garnacho, it\u2019s in general: what is a permanent transfer today could become a loan with obligation to buy in August, and can become a loan with option to buy and salary covered in the final days of August. This is typical in the market.<\/p>\n \u201cBut in this case, to tell you what\u2019s going on today, Chelsea are communicating that Garnacho is not available on loan.\u201d<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Iraola \u2018requests\u2019 Chelsea star as third Liverpool signing after insider says \u00a3120m man \u2018will leave\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\nChelsea lodge second offer for Chavarria<\/strong><\/h2>\n
