Crystal Palace ready to listen to offers for Christian Benteke – Burnley bid needs to be around £12m

Crystal Palace have reportedly valued Christian Benteke at £12million amid interest in the forward from Burnley.

The Eagles are receptive to selling the former Aston Villa and Liverpool striker.

Burnley have money to spend after Chris Wood joined Newcastle last week in a £25m deal.

The Mail claim that the Clarets have Benteke as a ‘priority target’ this month.

The paper adds that an offer in the region of £12m would tempt Palace into doing business.

Benteke has made 22 appearances for the Eagles this season. The 31-year-old has 18 months left on his Selhurst Park terms.
