Liverpool re-open talks with Crystal Palace over £32m striker
CRYSTAL PALACE have reportedly re-opened talks with Liverpool over a move for Christian Benteke.
Christian Benteke is out of favour with Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool
The Eagles saw a £25million bid for the striker rejected earlier in the summer.
But according to the Daily Mirror, Palace are now ready to meet Liverpool’s £32m valuation for Benteke.
The report adds the south London club are prepared to match the striker’s £120,000-a-week salary.
Benteke is not part of Reds manager Jurgen Klopp’s plans at Anfield.
And the 25-year-old knows he needs to leave the Merseyside club in search of first team football.

Besiktas were also linked with the striker but were priced out of a move, while interest from Sunderland and Everton in the Belgian failed to materialise.
Benteke struggled during his first season at Liverpool following his £32.5m move from Aston Villa last summer.
The Belgium international failed to break into the starting XI and managed just 10 goals in 42 appearances.
