 Liverpool prepare new transfer offer of £25m-plus for Aston Villa's Christian Benteke

Midlands club have already rejected Reds' £22m bid and insist they won't budge unless striker's £32.5m release clause is met but he wants out

Auction stations: Improved Liverpool offer would give Villa a £15m profit on wantaway Benteke

Liverpool will continue to splash the cash, even after stumping up £12.5million to make Southampton defender Nathaniel Clyne their sixth signing of the summer.
And the Reds are expected to return to Aston Villa within the next few days with a massive new offer for Christian Benteke.
Boss Brendan Rodgers has had one bid of around £22m rejected by the Midlands club, who insist they will not come to the table concerning the Belgium international until a release clause of £32.5m is triggered.
But Benteke has told his Villa Park bosses he won’t be signing a new contract to stay beyond the 24 months remaining on his current deal.
The centre-forward - who has scored 49 goals in 99 Villa games since his £7m move from Genk in his homeland in 2012 - is currently on holiday, but it is thought he will return next week to reiterate his desire for a move.
