Christian Benteke’s future at Liverpool seems uncertain after a challenging season under Jürgen Klopp. Signed for €46 million in the summer, the Belgian striker, who was initially brought in by Brendan Rodgers, has found himself sidelined in the Reds’ attack. Despite this, Benteke remains a valuable asset in the transfer market, with several clubs showing interest in him.
West Ham, one of the Premier League’s standout teams this season, is one of the clubs reportedly keen on acquiring the striker. In an interview with The Mirror, West Ham boss Marc Wilmots admitted the difficulties Benteke has faced at Liverpool but emphasized that many clubs in England are interested in him. However, the player’s substantial salary of €150,000 per week presents a challenge for most clubs to take him on, including West Ham.
David Sullivan, the chairman of West Ham, confirmed their admiration for Benteke but acknowledged that convincing Liverpool to part ways with the player, especially given his hefty price tag, could be tricky. The situation remains fluid, but Benteke’s time at Anfield could be nearing its end.
