The Times' Paul Joyce has added that the Reds have set the fee for £19m, which would also include add-ons.
The England international left Chelsea in 2017 and has made 21 appearances for Liverpool.
Solanke was also a target for Crystal Palace, but manager Roy Hodgson revealed that the club had backed out of a potential loan deal.
"It's a shame in many ways, we did have a genuine interest but the club has made a decision that it's not going to work out on this occasion," he said (via BBC Sport).
"He's a fine player and I accept in this instance the club has made a decision it wasn't the right moment to do this deal and we will work with what we have."
Jürgen Klopp's side suffered their first loss in the league against Manchester City yesterday.
Before kick-off, though, football fans from several clubs took to Twitter with the hashtag '#AnyoneButLiverpool.'

Wow, that's escalated quickly. Liverpool have agreed a £19million fee with Bournemouth for the sale of Dominic Solanke #LFC

Was told £24m for Solanke overall, but once again, Michael Edwards = genius.

Dominic Solanke to Bournemouth on a permanent deal would be great business for all concerned. Talented young player with a high ceiling that desperately needs regular minutes and could thrive under Eddie Howe. £19 million plus add-ons represents a good return for #LFC.

Think Solanke could be a good player with game time. Has looked brilliant whenever playing in the England youth teams.
But £35m for Jordon Ibe and Dom Solanke is truly outstanding business from an LFC point of view!

Would Solanke be the right fit for Bournemouth?
