Christian Benteke to Crystal Palace
Trending
Reports in the English media suggest Crystal Palace are ready to reignite their interest in Belgian international Christian Benteke. Liverpool want at least £30m for Benteke, having paid £32.5m to sign him last summer.
Experts say: Liverpool based journalist believe progress is expected this week, as Crystal Palace are keen on completing a transfer before the season opener.
Our take: Benteke clearly doesn’t have a future under Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool, and didn’t participate in any pre-season friendly games. Liverpool have plenty of options up front, and it’s very unlikely Benteke will get too much playing time. Crystal Palace seem to be determined to get Benteke, and are ready to meet his wage demands. The player is also reportedly keen on a move, and we won’t be surprised if this is wrapped up quickly.
Chances of it happening: 8/10
