Ekitics will travel to Merseyside for medicine and sign a six -year deal, although personal conditions are not expected.
Liverpool hopes that the 23-year-old will be able to fly to Asia to connect with his new teammates on their pre-season tour. Sports director Richard Hughes stayed in England to complete the deal together with some medical staff from Liverpool.
Liverpool had advanced talks with Frankfurt last week after he had made an inquiry with Newcastle to Alexander Isak, who does not want to sell United.
While Ektiaks had a release clause of £ 86 million in his contract with Frankfurt, Liverpool was able to negotiate a lower fee. The £ 10 million in add-ons depend on which trophy Liverpool win and the extent of the contribution of Ekitens.

Newcastle also offered £ 70 million for the former Paris Saint-Germain player, but without the add-ons, while Ekismen made it clear, his preference was to go to Liverpool.
He scored 22 goals last season, including 15 in the Bundesliga, and occurs when there are doubts about the future of Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz, the subject of an offer of Bayern Munich.
The arrival of Ekastens will take the summer editions of Liverpool for the 250-Mio.-Marke-with the potential that it will increase due to add-ons, according to the obligations of the full-back Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez and the Club Record change for Florian Wirtz.
Goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, who was bought last summer, also joined them after giving them back a season that was borrowed from Valencia.
