Kai Havertz left Germany's training camp to fly to London ahead of a move to Chelsea.
After many days of his transfer talks the Bayer Leverkusen midfielder finally sets to join Chelsea from after the club agreed a £71m fee.
Both Bayer Leverkusen and Germany confirmed Havertz's departure on Friday morning, with the club thanking the national side for cooperating.
Havertz was in Stuttgart with Germany's squad for their UEFA Nations League fixtures, having been an unused substitute as they drew 1-1 with spain on Thursday night.
"I exchanged ideas with Oliver Bierhoff and Jogi Low over the past few days," Bayer Leverkusen sporting director Rudi Voller said. "They understand the special situation of the player and also of us as a club.
Writer's pick:
"We are grateful to the national coach that Kai can now sort things out with our support on site in London."
It remains unclear whether Havertz will be able to rejoin Germany's squad for Sunday's Nations League match against Switzerland.
"The future belongs to Kai in the club and in the national team,"
Germany national team director Oliver Bierhoff said. "Of course we would have preferred if he could have fully concentrated on the national team at the start of the new international season.
Does Kai have a bright future in Premier league?
"The experience these players collect abroad - both in terms of sport and personal development - can also benefit the national team. We were in constant contact with Rudi Voller in order to find a good solution together. "
But we are aware of the importance for Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Kai and want to deal with it responsibly. At the same time, it is an honour and recognition for German football when young German players are in demand at top international clubs.
Well done player
