The Italy international has passed a medical and signed a long-term contract.
His arrival on Merseyside makes him Brendan Rodgers' first signing since taking the Reds' managerial reins.
Borini is a man Rodgers knows well, having previously worked with him in Chelsea's academy system and during his time in charge of Swansea City.
Liverpool believe the 21-year-old represents sound transfer business, as he is one for the present and future.
Borini has a proven track record when it comes to finding the target and formed part of Italy's squad at Euro 2012.
