Failing to sell Benteke this summer could be a financial disaster for Liverpool

Posted by

Here at EOTK, we’ve been huge admirers of the way Klopp’s suddenly started playing hardball over departing players’ transfer fees.

The German has sought to instill a philosophy getting what he deems a player to be worth rather than settling for less.

Nowhere has that been more evident than in the Benteke saga. We’ve now rejected two bids from Crystal Palace for his services and are demanding that club’s meet his £32.5 million valuation before we do business.

However, UEFA football expert Dave Philips has now thrown a new spanner into the equation.

He claims that if we don’t play the Belgian it at least 10 percent of our games this season – which equates to about 380 minutes – he could terminate his Liverpool contract for nothing at the end of the season.

That’s because he’s an “established professional” in the eyes of a FIFA ruling.

Ultimately, he could, therefore, leave for nothing next May.
