Report: Atletico Madrid open talks with Liverpool over Christian Benteke

Atletico Madrid reportedly open talks with Liverpool over the signing of striker Christian Benteke.

Atletico Madrid have reportedly opened talks with Liverpool regarding a summer transfer for Christian Benteke.

The Belgium international has struggled to make a mark for himself at Anfield having dropped to third-choice striker behind Daniel Sturridge and Divock Origi.

Benteke was bought for £32m under former manager Brendan Rodgers's regime in July 2015, but the Northern Irishman's replacement Jurgen Klopp is reportedly prepared to sell.

According to Fichajes.net, Atletico have begun discussions over a move, and Liverpool are holding out for a bid in the region of €30m (£24.7m).

Benteke is currently with the Belgium squad at Euro 2016.
