Chelsea continue in talks for Pep Chavarría as they hope to find a solution outside his release clause. However, there is a feeling Rayo Vallecano have moved the goal-posts. Understand #CFC were originally told to offer €15m and they hit that number, only for Vallecano to ask for more.🇪🇸

Chelsea closing in on Pep Chavarria after a breakthrough in talks with Rayo Vallecano. #CFC originally bid €15m, having been told this was Rayo Vallecano's initial valuation, only to find the offer was rejected. Clubs now in advanced talks to finalise the move. Never any intention to trigger or pay close to Chavarria's €50m release clause. Chavarria has already agreed terms.🇪🇸
