Rumors about Christian Benteke's move to Crystal Palace have been circulating for a long time, and it seems that they will finally come true - it has been reported that the clubs have finally agreed on the value of the future transfer and soon the player will be able to move to the new team.
According to Sky Sports, Liverpool has agreed to the latest Crystal Palace offer for the acquisition of the striker - 32 million pounds will be paid for Benteke's buyout. The "Reds" will receive 27 million immediately, and the remaining 5 will be transferred to them by Crystal Palace later, paying the bonuses stipulated in the contract. After this transfer, Benteke will become the most expensive player ever bought by this team.
The 25-year-old striker arrived at Liverpool just a year ago for a sum of 46.5 million euros. However, he failed to establish himself in the team, and after Jurgen Klopp joined the team, he mostly stepped onto the field only after substitutions.
In total, last season in 29 matches in the Premier League, Benteke scored 9 goals.
