Atletico commence talks for Benteke

Atletico Madrid have initiated talks with Liverpool over a summer move for Christian Benteke, according to Fichajes.net.

The 25-year-old failed to make an impact following his €46.5 million move to Liverpool last summer, and was given limited playing time after the arrival of Jurgen Klopp.

The German coach has deemed the Belgium international surplus to requirements and are looking to cash in on the former Aston Villa man.

They have placed a €30 million price tag on the strikers head, and Simeone could be tempted as he is scouring the market for a stiker to partner Antoine Griezmann.

Is the misfiring striker worth this much?
