Liverpool ready to SELL Borini AND Lambert to sign Man Utd and Chelsea target
LIVERPOOL are reportedly prepared to offer Aston Villa players in an effort to get their hands on Christian Benteke.
Christian Benteke Player Profile
The Reds are admirers of the 24-year-old along with Manchester United and Chelsea.
Liverpool were considering making an improved bid after seeing their opening £22million offer rejected outright by Villa.
According to The Independent, the Reds are considering offloading Rickie Lambert and Fabio Borini in a player-plus-cash deal.
Borini and Lambert's prospects of first-team football at Anfield appear to be minimal.
Christian Benteke is wanted by Liverpool
The report claims that Benteke's release clause which stands at £32.5m appears to be the main roadblock to any potential deal.
Liverpool however wants to add a proven goalscorer to his ranks, especially after missing out on Carlos Bacca.
