Christian Benteke is joining Crystal Palace; most Liverpool fans are saying the same thing

The Reds will recoup the €32m they paid for the former Aston Villa striker last summer.

Liverpool and Crystal Palace have reportedly reached an agreement for the sale of striker Christian Benteke.

The Merseyside club are set to recoup the money spent on the Belgian, and are still left with Daniel Sturridge, Danny Ings, Sadio Mané, Roberto Firmino and Divock Origi in attack.

Oh, and Mario Balotelli, but we don’t like to talk about that.

Many Liverpool fans are happy enough to see Benteke move on, but agree that he wasn’t the flop that he has often been portrayed as in the media having scored some important goals last season.
