Arne Slot will be named as Liverpool boss after the Reds reached an agreement with Feyenoord, talkSPORT understands.
The Reds had made the Dutchman their top target to replace Klopp, who will depart at the end of the season.
Liverpool and Feyenoord have reached an agreement that will see Slot become the new manager at Anfield, along with members of his backroom staff.
The two clubs have agreed a compensation package worth in excess of £9.4million (€11m) that will see Slot replace Klopp, with the coach desperate to move to Anfield.
The Eredivisie campaign is close to being over, which gave Liverpool the green light to go ahead and negotiate with Feyenoord now without any distractions.
Slot had already revealed that he was hopeful an agreement would be reached between the two clubs.

He made his intentions clear after Feyenoord's 3-1 victory over Go Ahead Eagles on Thursday.
"It seems clear to me that I would like to work there," the 45-year-old said.
“All I can say about it is that the clubs are in negotiations. I’m in the waiting room."
Slot led Feyenoord to the Eredivisie title last season, as well as winning the Dutch Cup this season in a victory over Nijmegen on Sunday.
It was only after the cup victory that Liverpool made their interest in the coach serious, as to show respect for the club.
The Reds had conducted a data-led approach to find their successor to Klopp this year after the German announced his decision to leave Liverpool at the end of the season.
Several candidates arose including Julian Nagelsmann and Ruben Amorim before Slot was made the ideal replacement.
The young coach has been praised for his attacking style, as well as his ability to develop young players, and had turned down the chance to take over at Tottenham last season.
