Liverpool will reportedly not consider selling striker Christian Benteke for less than the full amount they paid for him, despite no improved offers being made.
The Belgium international is widely expected to depart Anfield this summer following a disappointing maiden campaign at the club.
Benteke set the Reds back £32.5m when joining from Aston Villa but could only score 10 times in 42 appearances, leading to talk of a move away during the transfer window.
Agent Eris Kismet claimed earlier this week that "several clubs" had shown an interest in the 25-year-old, although Sky Sports News reports that Liverpool will not sell unless they recoup the full sum paid to Villa.
Benteke, who started just eight top-flight games under Jurgen Klopp, still has four years left to run on his current deal.
