CELTIC have been linked with a £6million move for former Liverpool top prospect Bobby Clark.
The 20-year-old versatile midfielder quit the Anfield outfit in a £10million move in the summer of 2024 to join RB Salzburg on a five-year contract.
However, Clark, son of former Kilmarnock boss Lee, returned to English football in August this year after accepting a temporary switch to Derby County.
GRIMLY DETERMINED…Brendan Rodgers is looking to revitalise his squad in January.
It appears things have not worked out with the Austrian Bundesliga team and the player is looking for a permanent move back to the UK. Brendan Rodgers is said to be poised to spend £6million to take him to the champions, as reported in The Times.
The Hoops gaffer apparently is eager to get the deal done in January which would mean the Championship outfit agreeing to scrap their loan arrangement with RB Salzburg which was originally for the season.
Former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp showed his faith in Clark’s ability by selecting him 15 times in his final season.
Rodgers is determined to revitalise his midfield which has rarely sparked in this campaign, despite the usual promptings from skipper Callum McGregor.
Reo Hatate has failed to consistently show his qualities, Arne Engels, Paulo Bernardo and Luke McCowan have been in and out of the line-up and £1.7million summer recruit Benjamin Nygren has impressed in flashes.
It’s an area of the team Rodgers feels needs to be strengthened and Clark could be part of the manager’s plans to bolster his team in the new year.
