Liverpool have agreed a fee with Newcastle United to land Georginio Wijnaldum.
Anfield officials brokered a deal worth £25 million for the Holland international which will see him join the Reds’ pre-season tour of America later this week.
No players will move from Merseyside to St James’ Park as part of the transfer, which curbed Rafael Benitez’s hopes of a reunion with Lucas Leiva.
Wijnaldum made a final outing for Newcastle towards the end of a 2-2 friendly draw with Doncaster Rovers on Wednesday night.
