Turkish champions Besiktas want a new striker but may be thwarted in their move for Liverpool's Christian Benteke.
Besiktas chairman Fikret Orman has confirmed the club are monitoring Christian Benteke's situation at Liverpool but admits the finances involved make a deal "complicated".
Benteke has not played a single minute in the Reds' pre-season programme and is expected to leave Anfield before the transfer window closes at the end of the month.
The stumbling block is the fee Liverpool would command for a player they signed for £32.5million last July.
Orman told reporters: "Christian Benteke is a very good footballer and we would like to see him at Besiktas but Liverpool spent a lot of money signing him so it's a bit complicated for us in that sense.
