Liverpool transfer news: Liverpool demanding Crystal Palace fork out £30million for flop striker Christian Benteke
Belgium striker has failed to impress on Merseyside with boss Jurgen Klopp ready to let him go — but not on the cheap
LIVERPOOL are demanding at least £30million for Christian Benteke.
The Belgium striker has failed to impress on Merseyside with boss Jurgen Klopp ready to let him go.
Christian Benteke has been on the bench for Belgium during Euro 2016
The Reds paid £32.5m for Benteke last summer but he has not hit the heights he thought he would.
And now the former Standard Liege man could be let go this summer but the Anfield club are refusing to let him go on the cheap.
Benteke’s days are numbered as Danny Ings is back in training while Sadio mane has been signed to link up with Daniel Sturridge and Divock Origi.
West Ham have been linked with a move for the out-of-form attacker but his inability to shine in the Premier League is putting some clubs off.
Benteke has lost his place in Belgium’s starting line-up to Everton’s Romelu Lukaku.
Crystal Palace are the frontrunners for the Belgian’s signature but West Ham have also shown an interest in bringing him to east London.
