Bobby Clark reunites with Lijnders at RB Salzburg as Liverpool sell for £10m | Liverpool

Liverpool have sold Bobby Clark, one of the young stars of last season’s Carabao Cup final triumph, to RB Salzburg for £10million.

The 19-year-old midfielder played twelve games for Jürgen Klopp’s team last season and was highly regarded by the former Liverpool manager and his assistant, Pepijn Lijnders.

Lijnders is now head coach at Salzburg and with Clark’s first-team opportunities under Arne Slot appearing limited this season, he pushed for a reunion with the England Under-20 international, who is the son of former Newcastle midfielder Lee.

Liverpool will receive up to £10m for Clark plus 17.5% of any future sale price. The club also have a matching rights agreement should they wish to bring the midfielder back to Anfield.

Clark isn’t the only young Liverpool player who could leave this week, with Dutch defender Sepp van den Berg wanted by Brentford and Bayer Leverkusen. The 22-year-old is weighing up his options ahead of a potential £25million exit. Liverpool are the only Premier League club not to have made a signing so far this summer, having also sold Fábio Carvalho to Brentford in a deal worth £27.5million.
