Liverpool are offloading Fabio Borini to Sunderland, having accepted an offer of £12m plus a further £2m in bonuses from the Black Cats.
Borini spent last season on loan at Sunderland, playing a key role as Gus Poyet's men put together a late charge to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
Sunderland have remained keen on welcoming him back, but Borini was keen to make the grade with Liverpool in the coming season.
However, Liverpool have accepted an offer which could net them £14m for Borini, according to Sky Italia, and the ball is now in the player's court.
Borini must now agree terms with the Black Cats for the deal to be pushed over the line.
