The 18-time champions of England said on their official website: "Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Sunderland midfielder Jordan Henderson.
"The 20-year-old will today discuss personal terms and undergo a medical on Merseyside after a fee was agreed between the two clubs."
Liverpool, who signed strikers Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez in a January spending spree fuelled by Fernando Torres' departure, have wasted little time in adding to their squad again.
The Black Cats had repeatedly stated their highest-profile Academy graduate was not for sale, but Liverpool's cash has persuaded them to part company with the 20-year-old.
As was the case when Aston Villa came calling in January with a deal potentially rising to £24m for Darren Bent, Sunderland were made an offer which represents an irresistible return on their investment.
