Report: Crystal Palace bid £25m for Liverpool, Belgium forward Christian Benteke

Crystal Palace have made a £25m bid for Liverpool forward Christian Benteke, according to reports.

The 25-year-old joined the Reds last summer from Aston Villa, but his future at Anfield appears to be in doubt since the arrival of Jurgen Klopp.

Benteke, who is currently with Belgium at Euro 2016, made only eight starts under Klopp last season and said in March that he found it difficult to understand why the German "ignores him".

According to both BBC Sport and Sky Sports News, the Anfield outfit are currently considering whether to accept the bid for Benteke.

Palace manager Alan Pardew has released fellow attackers Emmanuel Adebayor and Marouane Chamakh and also allowed Dwight Gayle to join Newcastle United.
