Liverpool are expected to be busy on the transfer front in the coming weeks as they look to get some signings on board.
The Reds are still the only Premier League club yet to get a new signing over the line this summer, though they’re reportedly trying to sign Georgi Mamardashvili.
Liverpool have been a bit busier in terms of outgoings, with five players having already left Anfield, either permanently or on loan.
Now, according to Fabrizio Romano, another Reds player is set to leave Anfield, with agreement reached on a permanent deal.

Liverpool set to sell Bobby Clark to RB Salzburg
The player in question is Bobby Clark, who has gone from strength to strength at Liverpool after making his breakthrough last season.
Clark joined the Reds academy from Newcastle United in 2021 and, within 18 months, he was making his senior Liverpool debut.
The 19-year-old has made 14 competitive appearances for the Reds and looks like he has a very bright future ahead of him.
Romano has now relayed information from club sources and journalists regarding Clark’s next destination.
The Liverpool talent is set to join former Reds coach Pep Lijnders at RB Salzburg, reported the transfer insider.
The Anfield outfit are selling him for £10million, though the deal has a 17.5 percent sell-on clause, and Liverpool also have right of first refusal in future.
Liverpool confident Clark will have bright future
When Liverpool signed Clark from Newcastle, it was a great day for the Reds, but a bad one for the Magpies.
“For me – and I don’t talk about this lightly – but at the same sort of age, you had a young Paul Gascoigne at Newcastle,” Lee Ryder of Chronicle Live told the Liverpool Echo at the time.
“That sort of raw skill (from Clark) reminds me a little bit of Gazza at the same age.”
Now, Clark is set to leave the Premier League as he links up with his former coach at a club regularly challenging for titles in Austria and playing Champions League football this term.
It’s certainly a shame to see the “unbelievable” talent – as Jurgen Klopp told The Mirror – leave English football.
However, it probably won’t be long before he’s back in the Premier League. Indeed, Liverpool remain confident about his potential, as per those clauses.
