“Bobby Clark has joined Red Bull Salzburg on a permanent transfer,” Liverpool said in their official announcement. After three years at Anfield, the 19-year-old decides to leave the club.
A year after making his professional debut as a substitute in a 9-0 home victory over AFC Bournemouth, Clark signed Liverpool from Newcastle United. That was in August 2021.
His 14 appearances for Liverpool include a February cameo against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley. The midfielder scored in last season’s Europa League match at Anfield against Sparta Prague.

“I have decided it is time to seek a new challenge,” Clark wrote in a social media post after three wonderful years at Liverpool.
Because of the club, I was able to gain invaluable experience and knowledge, and I will be forever thankful. For everyone who has cheered me on during this ordeal, I am eternally grateful.
Supposedly, in order to finalize the deal, the Austrian team has agreed to pay Liverpool £10 million.
An incredible offer for Premier League player to be made by Liverpool United would not pay for
The Sun reports that Arne Slot is a major fan of the 21-year-old center back and is willing to face the wrath of Everton supporters by moving across Merseyside to sign him.
The article states that Branthwaite is considering a transfer to Liverpool, which would mark the first time the two clubs have traded players since Abel Xavier’s 2002 switch from blue to red.
Everton are unlikely to sell to their fierce rivals Liverpool, despite Liverpool’s offer of £63 million plus £7 million in add-ons.
United, on the other hand, had two offers for Branthwaite turned down this summer: one for £35 million plus £10 million in add-ons, and another for £45 million plus £5 million in add-ons.
Everton rejected both bids outright because they believe their prized asset is worth more than £70 million, based on his stellar performance last season and the prices paid for players like Josko Gvardiol, Wesley Fofana, and Harry Maguire in the past few years.
Although United have strengthened their defense this summer with the signings of Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt, rumors persist that they are still interested in Branthwaite.Although Everton manager Sean Dyche is optimistic about retaining Branthwaite in the final week of the transfer window, he has acknowledged that the club’s financial situation is unpredictable and could impact their plans.
The club’s interest in Everton’s top players is something Dyche said he couldn’t control, but he did say that he’s convinced the club will do whatever it takes to keep them competitive.
In the meanwhile, Liverpool will not be adding to their roster significantly this summer.
As the England international considered his transfer options, Joe Gomez was benched for last Saturday’s season opener against Ipswich Town.
The defender’s transfer rumor mill included Aston Villa, Fulham, Chelsea, and Newcastle United. Despite rumors that he could make a comeback this weekend against Brentford, Liverpool is not attempting to actively sell Gomez.
