Palace 34.5million-euro Benteke offer rejected
An offer from Crystal Palace of 34.5 million euros for Christian Benteke has been turned down by Liverpool. The bid for the Belgium striker is the second to be rejected during the current European transfer window.
Issued on:
Benteke, 25, has fallen out of favour at Anfield since manager Jurgen Klopp took charge last October, starting only eight league matches.
He moved to Liverpool for 37.5 million euros in July 2015 as a signing under former boss Brendan Rodgers.
Palace have extra funds available following the sale of Democratic Republic of Congo winger Yannick Bolasie to Premier League rivals Everton on Monday for almost 30 million.
