Chelsea‘s new signing Pep Chavarria faces a difficult hurdle after his £18million arrival – his girlfriend is torn about moving to London.
The mysteriously named influencer Pawgli, who has been dating the footballer since November last year, broke down in tears in one video.
She says in other videos that she finds the prospect of moving to the English capital ‘scary’ and that she is ‘panicking’ over whether to relocate or not.
Pawgli has more than 1.1 million followers on TikTok and creates fashion, beauty, and lifestyle content for her audience.
Chavarria, 28, is in London for the foreseeable future after signing a five-year contract with the Blues, though they are hardly known for honouring long-term deals.
But Pawgli is weighing up whether she should join him or continue their relationship long-distance from Madrid, where her current influencer opportunities are.

She broke down in tears, has described the situation as ‘scary’, and says she is ‘panicking’
The duo have been together since November last year but she may decide to continue the relationship long-distance
She said: ‘By moving to London, I’m kind of giving up on doing 100 per cent of my job. He has his job, I have mine; he earns his money, I earn mine. Nobody lives off anyone else; I don’t live off my boyfriend.
‘Therefore, by not living in Madrid, I’m losing opportunities – opportunities for me to keep growing in this – because absolutely everything is in Madrid.
‘I want to keep holding on to my Spanish audience. I don’t know how to speak English, at least right now, though I know I’ll have to learn.
‘But no matter how much English I know, I don’t want to change my audience and have an English-speaking audience. I want to stay with my Spanish audience, which is why, all things considered, living in Madrid is so good for me.
‘As someone who is ultra mega family-oriented and super sensitive, moving to a country I don’t know, where I have nothing, no life, no job, and where I’m going to lose career opportunities…
‘And I’m doing it out of love, because I love my partner and want to build a future and a family with him.’
Pawgli denied that she had broken down in tears over the prospect of losing work and going to free events in Madrid.
But in another video, she did clearly indicate that she is in some turmoil about the change.

Chavarria, a late bloomer who only made his LaLiga debut aged 24, has spent the last four seasons with Madrid-based club Rayo Vallecano.
Pawgli said: ‘I have my life in Madrid; I have my job in Madrid, which luckily is going very, very well. I have projects, I have all the brands I work with there, I have daily events, I have my sister, my family, my friends. I have a life where I feel fortunate – it’s a dream life for me and one that cost me a lot to build.
‘So, when you start a relationship and your partner gets an opportunity like this, you’re obviously ultra-mega happy for him and super proud of him, but you also have to sit down with yourself and think, “Okay, now what do I do?”
‘And I swear until recently I was completely convinced that I wasn’t going to move in with him. He has his life in London right now, I have mine in Madrid; I respect his life, he respects mine, and whenever possible, we’ll see each other.
‘A long-distance relationship. Something I would’ve never considered in my life, but if one thing was clear to me, it’s that I will never in my life depend on anyone or live off anyone. I have my own income, and that’s how it’ll always be.
‘All of this is scary for someone who has everything in Madrid. Right now I’m panicking, honestly, because I know it’s a very tough decision.
‘I also want to be able to experience this with Pep, because if I met my boyfriend and he’s been here in Madrid for like 4 years and I met him, and precisely this year he has to go to London, maybe it’s because fate also wants me to go.
‘Because I’m obviously going to make content for you wherever I go, and being in London I can do even more, right? Because there are things there that aren’t in Spain.

‘I have a thousand ideas in my head because I can’t stop thinking, honestly.’
Pawgli, 27, has never revealed her actual name and the nickname is apparently based off the Jungle Book character Mowgli.
She did join her boyfriend for his unveiling with the Blues.
Chavarria said: ‘This is a dream for me as Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the world.
‘It is a big opportunity but I am prepared and will work hard to help the team achieve success.
‘There are a lot of people who have helped me get to this moment and I have to thank my family.
‘They have always supported me and today is only possible because of them. I’m here thanks to Xabi (Alonso). For me, he’s one of the best coaches right now.’
