Curtis Jones is set to join Inter Milan after the Serie A champions agreed a deal worth €35m, or roughly £30m, with Liverpool for the England midfielder.
The Reds have accepted an offer worth €30m plus €5m in add-ons for the 25-year-old, who will travel to Italy on Thursday to complete a medical.
The agreement includes a 10 percent sell-on clause for Liverpool, giving the club a stake in any future transfer.
The fee represents a significant climb from where negotiations began. In June, Liverpool rejected a verbal offer of €25m from Inter, having valued Jones, who had one year left on his contract, at around £35m.
More recently, Liverpool had suggested that something closer to the £30m package Inter Milan paid Tottenham for Djed Spence would likely be enough to get a deal done, and that proved to be the benchmark both clubs eventually settled on.
Inter first showed concrete interest in Jones back in January, when they proposed a loan with a view to a permanent transfer, but that approach was turned down by Liverpool at the time.
Jones has made 228 appearances for Liverpool since making his debut under Jurgen Klopp in 2019, having joined the club's academy at the age of nine. Last season, though, he featured 49 times in all competitions but made just 18 Premier League starts, struggling to hold down a regular place in midfield under head coach Andoni Iraola.
He is understood to be keen on a fresh challenge and will become the third English player to join Inter this summer, following John Stones and Spence through the door at San Siro.
Jones's exit will bring an end to a 16-year association with Liverpool, during which he won two Premier League titles, two Carabao Cups, the Club World Cup and the FA Cup, as well as reaching the Champions League final in 2022.
With his contract entering its final year and regular playing time increasingly hard to come by, both club and player appear to have concluded that a move represented the sensible next step, allowing Liverpool to collect a substantial fee for an academy graduate rather than risk losing him for a smaller sum, or nothing at all, further down the line.
