The Bayer Leverkusen star will now undergo a medical and complete a switch to Stamford Bridge, with the move set to be announced in the next 24 hours
Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Havertz has been allowed special dispensation to leave the Germany national team camp to complete a £72 million ($95m) move to Chelsea .
The 21-year-old, who was an unused substitute in Germany's 1-1 draw with Spain, is expected to be announced as a Blues player within the next 24 hours.
Germany head coach Joachim Low opted not to use Havertz with his medical at Cobham Training Centre still pending as the Blues prepare to smash their transfer record and make him the most expensive German player ever.



Indeed, Leverkusen confirmed the news via social media on Friday, tweeting: "Kai Havertz has left the Stuttgart headquarters of the German national team to clarify matters surrounding a potential move to Chelsea. This took place after a discussion with Bayer 04 and DFB leadership."
Chelsea have already agreed a five-year contract with Havertz, while the move is likely to reach Leverkusen's asking price of the player as achievable add-ons will bump the fee up to a possible £90m ($118m).
Having left Germany, Havertz is now set to complete a move that has taken over a month to finalise as Chelsea moved without competition in a transfer window of aggressive spending.
Real Madrid and Bayern Munich were long considered to be the front runners to sign one of Europe's top young talents.
But with Madrid's budgets limited after the coronavirus pandemic and Munich limiting themselves to just one big signing - Leroy Sane from Manchester City - it left the Blues willing and able to complete a deal.
Leverkusen have already lined up their Havertz replacement by agreeing on a €28m (£25m/$33m) fee for Roma forward Patrick Schick. They beat competition from RB Leipzig , who had the Czech Republic international on loan last season.
