Georginio Wijnaldum has reportedly decided to leave Liverpool at the end of the season after signing a pre-contract agreement with Barcelona.
The Netherlands international is set to become a free agent in the summer when his Anfield deal expires.
Wijnaldum, who has spent the last five seasons on Merseyside, has been allowed to discuss a transfer with foreign clubs since January.
Barca boss Ronald Koeman, who Wijnaldum played under for the Dutch national side, has repeatedly declared a public interest in the midfielder.
Inter Milan were also said to be hopeful of persuading the 30-year-old to join them, but The Times claims that the Italian giants have missed out.
Former Newcastle United ace Wijnaldum is said to have put pen to paper at Camp Nou, though official confirmation is unlikely until the end of the campaign.
