Colombian striker Adrian Ramos is set to join Granada on a loan deal until the end of the season when he joins Chinese Super League club Chongqing Lifan.
Borussia Dortmund have reached an "agreement in principle" with the Chinese club over a permanent transfer for the 30-year-old, with Granada – who are under the same ownership – set to net the former Hertha Berlin man until the end of the campaign.
"I would have liked to keep him, and regret it," Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel said.
"Adrian expressed his desire to leave in every transfer period. It's different being the number two striker at his age than at a younger age.
"With a heavy heart, we've accepted his wish, but his decision for more playing time is understandable. Auba will come back soon, and he's our starter. We'll have other options until then."
Ramos joined Dortmund in 2014 but has appeared mainly as a substitute, scoring 19 goals in 75 appearances following more prolific spells at America de Cali and Hertha Berlin.
