Liverpool striker Christian Benteke wants to stay at Anfield Stadium despite of struggling last season, according to his agent Kismet Eris.
The Belgian who was signed by Brendan Rodgers last summer for £32.5million from Aston Villa has failed to shine under new boss Jurgen Klopp.
Benteke’s style of play does not suit Klopp’s style, Divock Origi has been preferred over him.
Despite of all the struggles his agent Kismet Eris has told SkySports that Benteke still wants to stay at the club and is keen to fight for his place.
Several sides including Crystal Palace are interested in signing him, according to reports. Palace made £25million offer which was rejected by the Reds as they have put a £30million price tag on their striker.
Furthermore, the reports claimed that the deal with Palace has been agreed and the player will be moving soon.
Kismet told that he still has four years on his Liverpool contract and there is nothing to tell about Palace move.
Benteke made only 14 Premier League starts under German manager and he netted 10 goals in all campaigns.
The 25-year-old will be discussing about the future plan with the boss once he return to preseason tour.
