Teams like this tend to be stubborn though. It genuinely wouldn't surprise me if they kept him and sold him next summer for about 20m. I get why they'd do that as well. If they get into the Champions League by using him in the qualifiers then it'll bring in more money than the difference between his fee this summer and the fee they could get for him next summer.
What's his value..£25m?
If it were down to me I'd offer a take it or leave it £30m to Gladbach, we get our Man they get the dollar to spend on whoever, if not we target someone else wait a season and get him then probably for less, I reckon they would deal and not risk losing him £10m,
If things work out we could sell Benteke to palace for £30m and in effect get Mahoud for F**k all, happy days
