Spanish goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga’s signing to Chelsea in 2018 will sign the Blues record.
Leverkusen gave Havertz permission to face Chelsea on Friday, and the German team’s bosses also allowed him to leave the national team camp.
“Kai Havertz has left the German national team’s headquarters in Stuttgart to explain the problems surrounding a movement imaginable to Chelsea,” Leverkusen confirmed.
He took position after one with Bayer 04 and control of the DFB.”
Havertz will now have to undergo a medical examination in London and is ready for Chelsea’s sixth senior summer recruit.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has propped up an incredibly impressive movement window for the Blues, with manager Frank Lampard subsidized until we start a new era of Stamford Bridge.
Prolific German striker Timo Werner, Ajax’s Hakim Ziyech and Leicester left-back Ben Chilwell have reached west London in agreements.
French Under-21 defender Malang Sarr has great promise after signing a loose play but will pass on loan, while Brazilian prop Thiapass Silva arrived from Paris St Germain.
Chelsea’s summer spending will exceed two hundred million pounds if Havertz completes his replacement without any problem.

Former England midfielder and Chelsea secured a fourth Premier League position and a Champions League ranking in their first control campaign, and has now won significantly for the review of their Stamford Bridge team.
Leverkusen director Rudi Voller thanked the German chiefs for allowing Havertz to leave the national camp in the midst of League of Nations action.
“I’ve exchanged with Oliver Bierhoff and Jogi Low in the last few days,” Voller said.
“They are the special scenario of the player and also of us as a club.
“We are grateful to the national coach that Kai can now work things out with our London venue.”
