Chelsea are looking at Pep Chavarria as a possible substitute for Cucurella. The Sunday transfer-market live update from OneFootball puts his name inside a rumor stream, not a completed move, so the only hard edge here is Chelsea’s interest.
Chelsea and Pep Chavarria
The headline points to a clear squad issue: Chelsea are tied to Pep Chavarria in a role-based search, with Cucurella the player he could replace. That is the practical reading for any transfer watcher following the live update, because it links one target to one position instead of scattering attention across the wider market noise.
OneFootball’s live format matters here because it leaves the story in motion. The update also mentions entries, exits, and signings in general, but Pep Chavarria appears only as part of the Chelsea thread, so the useful takeaway is narrow: Chelsea have been floated as interested, and the target is framed as a possible substitute rather than a finished deal.

That distinction is the whole story. Interest points to scouting or monitoring; a substitute label points to fit; neither one means Chelsea have moved beyond the rumor stage. For now, the market value of the item is in the connection itself, because it tells readers exactly what kind of player Chelsea are being linked with and why Cucurella is in the frame.
For Chelsea, the next step is simple even if the reporting is not: any real movement would have to turn that interest into something firmer. Until then, Pep Chavarria sits where the live update placed him — inside a transfer-market discussion, attached to a possible change at Chelsea, with Cucurella as the reference point and no transfer outcome yet on the page.
