Leeds forward Harry Kewell will sign a five-year deal with Liverpool on Wednesday for a knock-down £5m fee.
The 24-year-old Australian international will make the switch to Merseyside, after a late hitch threatened the deal.
"The issue was the transfer fee to be paid by Liverpool to Leeds - that has now been resolved," Kewell's agent Bernie Mandic told the BBC Sport website.
"So hopefully the lawyers will sort out the legal side of things very soon."
Reports said the deal hit a last-minute hitch over Kewell's claims for a £1.5m loyalty bonus.
But Mandic rejected such suggestions and claimed the problem was due to Leeds wanting more for their star.
"It is absolute nonsense," he added. "He has not asked for any payout for the last year of his contract and to suggest otherwise is a lie.
Feature: Kewell in the crown
"There are no monies from the transfer fee from Liverpool to Leeds that will be paid to Harry Kewell.
"I have a letter signed by the chairman of Leeds giving me permission to find a club for Harry Kewell for £5m.
"Other clubs over the last few days have been prepared to pay more money but that is immaterial.
"Harry is happy with Liverpool, he has turned his back on one club that is prepared to pay 30% more in wages. The club he wants to play for is Liverpool.
They've got some great players there and exciting young players - there was just something special about Liverpool and that's why I accepted their offer

"The fact that the club was also willing to pay £9m is a sore point for some people because it would be a far more lucrative deal for Leeds.
"But I think human beings are entitled to choose their place of employment - the days of slavery are well and truly over.
"Harry asked for certain terms and conditions and the first club to meet them were Liverpool. Harry is a man of his word - when he gives his word it is his bond.
"We expect Leeds to be the same - they have given their word about what their requirements are and they have been met."
Mandic also revealed that Kewell, who will sign a £60,000-a-week deal at Anfield, would have been keen to stay at Elland Road, but a contract was never forthcoming.
"Harry still loves Leeds," he said. "He would have been more than happy to sign a similar deal as Liverpool offered him.
"But there has been no offer to Harry Kewell from Leeds to extend his contract.

If we don't change tactics, we have just wasted money on Kewell

"We have been repeatedly told that one was round the corner - that corner has never come."
Mandic also answered claims that Kewell has been talking to Liverpool for six months.
"Agents appointed by Leeds, or purporting to be appointed by Leeds, in December and January approached several clubs including Liverpool for the purpose of selling Harry.
"Our position has been that unless the club were willing to talk to me directly we were not interested.
"Liverpool came into contact with us two or three weeks ago and basically expressed their formal interest."
Kewell will take the number seven shirt at Liverpool - the same worn by legends Kevin Keegan and Kenny Dalglish.
"It is an honour to have that number, I will wear it with pride and hopefully I can achieve great things in it," Kewell told Channel Nine in Australia.
