Liverpool have turned down an offer of £6M from RB Salzburg for Bobby Clark.
RB Salzburg have been pushing hard to sign the youngster on loan but have made a bid on Friday for a permanent move. Norwich City and Rangers had also hoped to secure his services. Leeds United have also shown interest.
Clark is a Newcastle youth prospect and his father Lee Clark famously played over 200 times for The Magpies over two spells.
It is a pivotal season for the 19-year-old with many expecting him to break into Arne Slot’s side. Clark is comfortable in possession and has an eye for a breakthrough pass.
Pep Lijnders looking to sign Clark
Pep Lijnders is extremely keen to bring Clark to Austria. RB Salzburg are set to return with an improved offer for Clark in the coming days. The Austrian side may be prepared to their transfer record in an attempt to sign the promising midfielder.
Vitor Matos has joined up with the Dutchman at Salzburg and Matos also wants to secure Clark’s services.
