Liverpool, Man Utd target Benteke to decide on Aston Villa future this summer

Christian Benteke will wait until after this summer's international matches before deciding his Aston Villa future.

The Daily Mirror reports that the 24-year old striker will hold off on his decision on whether or not he will remain at Villa Park next season and beyond.

Benteke, who is valued at around £30million, is a reported target for Liverpool and Manchester United while Chelsea and AS Roma have also been credited with an interest.

However, the former Genk ace will play for Belgium in the summer, with the Euro2016 qualifier against Wales on June 12 in mind, prior to making the choice.

It is believed that he will not sign an extension on his current contract which expires in two years but could leave if Villa receive a sizeable offer.
