da bet esporte: Club Brugge are interested in signing Christian Benteke from Crystal Palace, per HLN.
What’s the word?
da gbg bet: The Belgian side have raided the Premier League before, signing Simon Mignolet from Liverpool in the summer and are reported to have the budget needed to bring in the striker.
Benteke has won 37 caps for Belgium but has struggled to score for Palace and is yet to hit the net this season.
As such, Palace are said to be willing to do business for between €12m (£10.2m) and €15m (£12.7m).

However, the ex-Liverpool star has yet to give any indication that he is open to a move to the Jupiler Pro League.
Wishful thinking
Palace would do well to get as much as £12.7m for a player who has been in execrable form for the club for the last few years.
He has yet to score this season and netted just once in the Premier League last term in 16 appearances.
Did he really play for us?! No Palace fan has managed to name all of these obscure Eagles signings….
Indeed, since the 2016/17 campaign, in which he scored 15 times, he has scored a grand total of four goals for Palace.
Of course, the attraction for Brugge is obvious; he is Belgian and has played in the Jupiler League before, scoring 29 goals and registering 15 assists prior to his move to England.
Were Palace to receive such an offer they should snap Brugge’s hand off, but they shouldn’t hold their breath about it actually arriving.
Meanwhile, Palace fans want one man to be in the starting XI more often.
