Clark confirmed, Bajcetic report & another winger to leave – Latest Liverpool FC News

We are still waiting for incomings to Liverpool this window but the club continues to allow players to leave, with another exit confirmed on Thursday.

Today’s Main LFC Headline

A deal we’ve known would be happening for a while now has been confirmed, as Bobby Clark has officially moved to Red Bull Salzburg.

The move is a permanent one that will earn Liverpool £10 million and includes an agreement that the Reds will have first refusal on the player, should he move on from Salzburg in the future.

However, that would only be applicable if Liverpool were to match other any offers made for the player.

It is disappointing to see such a talent leave at just 19 years old but we have to trust that Arne Slot and the club have made the right decision.

For Clark, it is a move that sees him rejoin Pep Lijnders who will now be his new manager as Salzburg try to reclaim the Austrian title from Sturm Graz.

Liverpool FC: On this day

On this day in 1964 Liverpool appeared on the first-ever edition of the BBC’s Match of the Day!

Gordon Wallace, who we interviewed recently on This Is Anfield, scored twice as the reigning champions beat Arsenal at Anfield in a historic Game for English Football.

Before Wallace’s winning brace, though, Roger Hunt netted the opener in a season that concluded with the Reds’ famous first FA Cup win under Bill Shankly.
