Rayo Vallecano might be set for a profitable summer.
Details: Chelsea are advancing their squad-building efforts and have moved closer to signing Spanish defender Pep Chavarría, 28, from Rayo Vallecano.
Per Marca, the London club's hierarchy has sent a fresh transfer offer for the Spaniard to Rayo. Consequently, talks between the sides have entered a livelier phase.
Chelsea consider Chavarría a prime defensive target and hope to persuade the Spanish outfit to reach an agreement soon.
The final call now rests with Rayo, who are weighing the improved proposal from the Premier League side.
Pep Chavarría's market worth is put at €10 million by Transfermarkt, and his contract with Rayo runs until 2030.
