Liverpool have agreed a fixed fee of £69m (€80m) with Eintracht Frankfurt for Hugo Ekitike, with talks continuing on Sunday over the bonuses in the deal.
Sky Sports News understands the total package in the offer could rise to £78m (€90m), but talks continue over the structure of the add-ons.
Both parties are confident of getting to a full agreement, but there is still work to do to get it finalised.
Liverpool made their move for Ekitike earlier this week after being told Newcastle's Alexander Isak is not for sale.
Ekitike is open to a Premier League move and Liverpool would be his preferred destination, after Newcastle had an offer rejected.
The 23-year-old was an unused substitute during his side's pre-season game against FSV Frankfurt on Saturday.
After the game, Frankfurt boss, quoted by Sky Germany, said Ekitike's potential departure is "a bitter loss".
Ekitike scored 22 goals in 48 games across all competitions last season for Frankfurt as he helped them qualify for the Champions League.
