Crystal Palace happy to let Christian Benteke go to China for £20million in the summer.
Eagles forward can push his claims for a lucrative move by impressing in Russia this summer — whether Roy Hodgson’s men stay up or not.
Christian Benteke wants to join the money trail to China after the World Cup. The Crystal Palace striker, 27, looks set to leave at the end of the season and his advisers are checking out Far East options.
Belgium star Benteke can push his claims for a lucrative move by impressing in Russia this summer — whether Palace stay up or not.
Palace want to recoup about £20million of the £27m they paid for the enigmatic target man in 2016 and they would be happy if a Chinese club came up with the cash. The Eagles clearly want new strikers for next season.
Benteke currently ears around £90,000-a-week and even with a wage cut if Palace are relegated — would still be costing them about £50,000-a-week. That means his agents will have to find a better deal for him elsewhere to make the move worthwhile.
Reports claim that there is optimism about a huge China pay day.
