Liverpool News: Negotiations underway for Striker, club official flies in for talks

Liverpool striker Christian Benteke has been linked with a move away from Anfield this summer.

The Belgian signed from Aston Villa last summer, but the 32 million pounds signing has failed to live up to the expectations.

After the departure of Brendan Rodgers, Benteke fell out of favour with the new Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who chose to use Roberto Firmino and Divock Origi as his strikers.

The return of Daniel Sturridge more or less ended Benteke’s first team hopes. The Belgian is desperate to play regularly like he has done all his career and criticised the Liverpool manager earlier this season during the international break.
