Should Jurgen Klopp's side be guaranteed £30m, only Luis Suarez, Fernando Torres and Raheem Sterling would have commanded a higher fee than the Belgian. A deal would suit all parties with Palace keen to fortify their attack having missed out on Benteke's compatriot Michy Batshuayi to Chelsea, while the 25-year-old is desperate for regular first-team football.The Reds would be happy to allow Benteke to leave, with the player now surplus to requirements, although the former Villa forward did still manage to score 10 goals for the club in the 2015-16 campaign despite struggling to adapt to Klopp's high-press style.</blockquote>
