Liverpool's Christian Benteke verbally agrees terms with Crystal Palace: £30m fee wantedCHRISTIAN BENTEKE is edging towards the exit door at Liverpool after reportedly agreeing personal terms with Crystal Palace.
The striker failed to shine in his debut season at Anfield after arriving from Aston Villa for £32.5million.
Express Sport understands the Reds want to recoup £30m for their Belgium international this summer.
And it now appears only a fee needs to be agreed with Palace after Benteke held positive talks with the Eagles, according to the Daily Mail.
Alan Pardew has been keen to bring in a top-class goalscorer, having made an attempt to sign Michy Batshuayi from Marseille.
But their £31m move for Benteke's Belgium team-mate at Euro 2016 was stumped by Chelsea as the Blues close in instead.
However, with Jürgen Klopp keen to offload 25-year-old Benteke, Palace are getting nearer having reportedly held discussions with his representatives this week where terms were verbally agreed.
It remains to be seen whether Palace will meet Liverpool's asking price but they are said to be intent on getting a deal done.
