Bayer Leverkusen forward Kai Havertz left the German national team’s training camp on Friday to try to complete his transfer to Chelsea.

Leverkusen sporting director Rudi Voeller said Havertz will travel to London “so that Kai can now sort things out on the ground in London with our support.”

Germany coach Joachim Löw said he expected Havertz to sign for Chelsea soon.

“We knew that now, today or tomorrow, the final details had to be worked out in his contract with Chelsea,” Löw said in a video on the German football federation’s website, adding that Havertz “definitely wants to take this step. “.

Havertz was an unused substitute when Germany drew 1-1 with Spain on Thursday in the Nations League. Löw said he was aware of risking the transfer if Havertz played and was injured.

Havertz’s signing would likely complete a Chelsea review that has also seen forward Timo Werner, winger Hakim Ziyech, central defender Thiago Silva and left-back Ben Chilwell move to the English club.

“We are aware of the importance of this for Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Kai and we want to approach this in a responsible way,” said General Manager of the German national team, Oliver Bierhoff. “At the same time, it is an honor and a distinction for German football that young German players are in demand at the best international clubs.”

Havertz last played for Leverkusen in the Europa League quarter-finals on August 10, scoring in a 2-1 loss to Inter Milan. Leverkusen manager Peter Bosz has said he does not expect to have Havertz available for the new season.
