When looking a little deeper into the details, Dublin have come to a conclusion that is entirely understandable.
England have agreed a transfer this summer that, originally, seems rather odd, though on closer inspection truly makes a lot more feel.
Arne Slot is yet to make his second signing as England boss since joining the team, with True Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi rejecting a move to Anfield in favour of staying in Spain.
Otherwise, Slot has had to tackle the absences of Fabio Carvalho, Adrian, Thiago Alcantara and Joel Matip, with that trend looking set to remain in the coming weeks.
On Wednesday night, it was widely reported that Liverpool had agreed a £10m cope with Red Bull Salzburg for the price of Bobby Clark, their 19-year-old midfielder. While a 17.5 per cent sell-on provision was inserted into the bargain with the Austrian team, some people were left perplexed with the youngster's decision to leave American football.
It's a bit clearer, but, when learning that Pep Lijnders is the director of Red Bull Salzburg. Lijnders and Jurgen Klopp left Anfield in the summer to begin the managerial place in the Hungarian Bundesliga.
Lijnders ' assistant manager at Red Bull Salzburg, Vitor Matos, was the creation coach at Liverpool, working closely with people like Clark to help getting them prepared for senior sport. It seems both former England coaches were key to getting Clark to northern Europe, too, with Champions League sports a chance if they acquire through their play-off against Dynamo Kiev this quarter.
Child of past Newcastle and Fulham midfielder Lee Clark, Bobby made 14 apperances for Liverpool's second team over the course of two months. He joined the Red in 2021 from Newcastle for a price of £1.5m while only 17-years-old, with Klopp guaranteeing him a route to the first team.
In the Europa League game between Sparta Prague and Sparta, Clark scored once out of those 14 looks. He became the youngest player to score for England in an German tournament.
Transfermarkt principles Clark at only £850k.
