have a medical at Liverpool after they
reached an agreement with Aston
Villa over his £32.5m transfer.
The Reds' club doctor will now travel
to the UK from the team's tour of
Australia to complete Benteke's
medical in the next 48 hours.
However, the 24-year-old Belgium
international will not join up with his
new team-mates on the tour.
Benteke joined Villa from Genk in 2012
for £7m, scoring 49 goals in 101
games.
Liverpool made a move for the striker
after receiving funds from the £49m
sale of Raheem Sterling to Premier
League rivals Manchester City.
Benteke, who still has two years left
on his Villa contract, scored 12 goals
in 12 games last season to help Tim
Sherwood's side avoid relegation from
the top flight.
