Benteke & Weimann are in the Villa kits for the new season - you'd expect that that means they'll be at Villa Park next season then!

Villa want 40m for benteke he will be here for 1 more year at least

With Villa putting a £40m price tag on Benteke, I don't think he will be going anywhere at all now.

Benteke priced at 40 mil

I doubt Benteke will be sold now. Even if we do pull off the signing of Belhanda, Villa bid for Coutinho & Dempsey in previous windows & that was in addition to Benteke, why would the same sort of player wanted to help Benteke be a replacement for him?

Nope not necessarily, suarez was in the new liverpool kit and he's off!

Would still rather keep benteke but if we get 40 mil for him we could get a very strong squad. so either way, we ain't getting relegated. will finish between 9th and 12th I reckon.

Benteke has taken to twitter to say he wants to stay at Villa. So what I don't understand is why don't the press stop with the quotes which the player has dismissed as untrue?

40 m is ridiculous more like 15-20 m be honest

How is 40mil ridiculous when torres was 50 and carroll 35?benteke far far better than both. only thing ridiculous is the price tag too small if using the torres carroll scale

Think your missing the point, It's a back away unless your going to pay stupid money quote.

His only just 22 has a lot of playing time left that's why his worth 35-40m he will be the new drogba

How much is benteke worth? Well if lukaku was bought a few seasons ago for £19 million, without scoring a single premiership goal. How much is Benteke worth? Benteke is in the Belgium starting line up, whereas lukaku is on the bench. How much is Benteke worth? I hope this puts it to rest all those who say Benteke is worth only £10 million, when in fact his worth a lot more.

Teams can value their players at whatever they want. Look what spurs did to keep modric. Simple logic

Christian Benteke is set to sign an improved contract as Aston Villa have told him he will be sold after the world cup next year, villa know they carnt keep hold of him but the know that they can get top dollar for him in the world cup transfer window. Christian also feels that he owed a debt of gratitude to Paul Lambert and has stated he will stick around for one more season. The more speculation the higher his value will rise.

As much as I'd love this to be true I don't believe it, far to much speculation about him leaving. how do you know this?

Okore, belhanda and benteke for another season and i'd be over the moon!

Says it all that you would rather believe that he is going due to speculation, instead of believing that he will stay at the club you support. He won't be sold this transfer window, and my source is not relevant only the information I am provided with.

As I said, hope it's true!

Why would he sign an improved contract, probably a 4/5 year deal, if he was going to leave the next season?
The club could just dig it's heels in and keep him there til his contract dwindles down to 2 years then sell him?

He is on a tiny wage at the moment, rumoured to be around £25k-£30k p/w. If he is our star player he wants £60-70k p/w.

Who are these mindless people who have nothing better to do than make up lies, Benteke will not sign a new contract he knows that the top 6 clubs are looking at him, as well as clubs in Europe, what has a better pull on him, the Saltley Gasworks, HP sauce the Bull ring Tipton Flyover, Birmingham has nothing to offer him

Because not only will he be more likely to stay if we double his money but also all of the best young players this season are getting improves contracts. Lowton, westwood and weimann are the others I believe. Not to mention the fact that if he signs a contract other teams will no to keep off

I think even if he will leave next summer he will still sign a new contract here. Why would you stay on 25k for 12 months when you can get 40/50k for the same period in time.

Unfortunatey loyalty in football is almost non existence these days and if Benteke stays this season and signs a new 4/5 year deal I still expect him to go next summer (if he has a season similar to this one) and I wouldn't be surprised if teams try and get is sorted before the world cup kicks off because if he performs in Brazil then his value will be even higher.

Benteke will stay and the Hp sauce factory shut ages ago, now its made in the netherlands so why make a stupid pointless remark like that. Keep to football rumours.

Villa will give Benteke a new deal, up his wages & he will leave next summer but they can just use the new contract of Benteke's as a bargaining chip to get another few million next summer!

These mindless people that supposedly make up lies? How can a rumour be a lie its not the truth or a lie, nor is it a fact. IT IS A RUMOUR, hence the name of the website.

Maggots for Brains.

The reasons Benteke would sign a contract extension are simple

> More money

> To put a reasonable fee release clause in his contract

> An agreement that the club will let him go to a CL club if they offer a good deal

Alexsander Tonev will travel to Birmingham on Tuesday to finish the deal of joining Aston Villa.

Well it's Wednesday now and nothing?

I'm guessing they mean next week as this was posted today

Too late he's passed his medical, packed his bags and gone on holiday.

Do you think the Belhanda rumours are true Ed? I really hope so- would show Benteke and everyone our ambition {Ed001's Note - there has been interest from Villa and Newcastle throughout last season, so it would make sense if they were true. Villa had him watched multiple times, though it could be the media know this and are just speculating. I am not sure, I don't know anyone involved there to try and get info from.}

"Aston Villa is a great club with a big history playing in the best league in the world, so let's see what will happen. " From Belhanda himself when asked if he was moving to Aston Villa FC.
