The Dutchman has been strongly linked with a move to Anfield for a number of weeks now, with arch rivals Everton and Tottenham Hotspur thought to also be interested.
Now, the 25-year old will travel to Merseyside to complete a medical and finalise his move from Tyneside, after just a year with the Toon Army.
While the Oranje international started life with the Magpies well, and finished as their top scorer, though his form was patchy and he proved powerless to stop their relegation.
Still, it represents a major profit for Rafa Benitez and company, who signed the player for £14.5m last term.
Where will Wijnaldum fit in at Anfield? Let us know below….
