Christian Benteke bid rejected:

The big Belgian is on his way out of the club and it is revealed that Premier League outfit Crystal Palace were finally ready to meet Liverpool’s valuation of the player which is close to the £32.5m they paid for his last summer.

Reports suggest that Palace earlier today made a bid of £30m but were rejected. It is revealed that Palace were ready to offer £23m up front and another £7m in add-ons but Liverpool want more for their player initially without depending on any add-ons.
