Liverpool’s young talent Bobby Clark is on the verge of a permanent move to RB Salzburg, with both clubs nearing an agreement for the 19-year-old midfielder. Initially, Liverpool had planned to offer Clark a new contract and send him out on loan for the 2024/25 season to gain experience. However, circumstances have shifted.
According to reports from DAVEOCKOP, RB Salzburg is now close to finalizing a deal for Clark, driven by the strong interest of former Liverpool coaches Pep Lijnders and Vitor Matos, who are eager to reunite with the player.
Clark had his most significant season at Anfield last year, playing a key role during a challenging period for Jurgen Klopp’s side in early 2024. The young midfielder made several Premier League appearances and was instrumental in helping Liverpool secure victory over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final.
As the 2024/25 campaign approaches, this move is seen as a crucial step in Clark’s development. His close relationship with Lijnders has fueled optimism that, under the guidance of his former coach, Clark can unlock his full potential.
By opting to join RB Salzburg, Clark is set to turn down offers from up to 12 Championship clubs, including Bristol City, Portsmouth, and Norwich. His decision to move abroad at this stage in his career reflects his ambition and willingness to step out of his comfort zone.
Playing for Salzburg will not only provide Clark with valuable experience away from home but also allow him to compete in the UEFA Champions League this season. With the added influence of Lijnders, this move is poised to be a pivotal moment in Clark’s career as Liverpool prepares to bid farewell to one of their promising young talents.
