Austrian giants Red Bull Salzburg are keen to sign Clarke this summer. After bringing in former Jurgen Klopp academy product Pep Lijnders as their new manager.
Liverpool are set to demand at least £12m if they decide to sell the 19-year-old permanently. With a loan move likely to be the only option and the Reds are keeping their cool and will take their time before making a decision.
