As I told you all last week, and as the media is reporting today, Benteke is due to move to Man Utd.
All based in the media on Benteke favouring a tweet a Man Utd fan tweeted saying that Benteke would be good backup to Rooney.
Man Utd will offer the full 32.5 million buyout clause.
While we were interested we would not pay the full 32.5 million so our interest ends.
To be honest I don't understand the thought process behind Man Utd signing him, I would have thought that Cavani, Higuain, Benzema would fit in more with LVG galaticos signing policy.
One less team to compete for the Lacazette or Reus signature.
Although I have a feeling we could be tempted to spend 17million on Charlie Austin instead.
Instead of activating Benteke's 32.5 million buyout clause we should add 2.5 million and make the offer for Lacazette.
