As Bobby Clark, a 19-year-old, gets ready to depart England for Red Bull Salzburg, an Austrian top-flight club, the two clubs have agreed on a sum.
After taking over as manager at Anfield from Jurgen Klopp in the summer, Arne Slot has yet to sign any players as the Premier League season begins this coming Friday.
Martin Zubimendi, who won the Euro 2024 with Spain, had a change of heart and decided to stay with Real Sociedad, depriving Liverpool of their new signing.The two teams have agreed on a £10 million asking price, and now the club is getting ready to lose Clark to Salzburg, further reducing their roster.
Pep Lijnders, a former assistant at Liverpool, now coaches Salzburg. Last season, Lijnders helped Clark break through to the main squad at Liverpool.Liverpool is trying to recoup the money they’ve spent on Clark’s development since he joined their academy, therefore they’ve agreed to a sell-on fee of 17.5%.
The attacking prospect, who appeared six times in the Premier League last season, piqued the curiosity of several Championship clubs, including Leeds and Norwich.The product of Liverpool’s academy, Clark, is hoping for more regular first-team opportunities with the Austrian club Salzburg, having beaten both clubs to sign with him.
As he attempted to depart Anfield, Clark was one of the surprising players left out of Liverpool’s pre-season tour of the US.
While playing in the Premier League’s youth categories last season, the kid scored 17 goals. He also scored in the Europa League, breaking his senior duck.
