Last month it was confirmed that Firmino would leave the Reds after eight years at Anfield.
And the 31-year-old has now agreed to join Barcelona on a free transfer, according to the Daily Mail.
He had previously been linked with the likes of Roma and Real Madrid.
However, reports suggest that Firmino will join Barca when his contract at Anfield expires at the end of the season.
Firmino joined Liverpool in 2015 in a £29m deal from German club Hoffenheim.
During his time at the club, Firmino has helped the Reds to the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup and Club World Cup.
The forward made up a third of an impressive line-up alongside Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.
However, Firmino has reduced his playing time this season as Jurgen Klopp overtakes his aging squad.

The arrival of Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo means he has made just 12 Premier League appearances this season.
A hamstring injury means Firmino will reportedly miss the next three games but Liverpool hope he can return before the season ends.
Boss Klopp is said to have been keen for Firmino to extend his stay at Anfield but the forward is eager to take on a new challenge.
In total, Firmino has made 360 appearances for Liverpool, scoring 109 goals and providing 79 assists.
