Aston Villa Transfers: 5 Clubs Alerted By Christian Benteke's Transfer Request

1. Internazionale

Although the club have not been linked with signing him, Christian Benteke's agent announced in March that it would be "a dream" to the Belgian striker to play for the Italian Serie A giants. Rodrigo Palacio was their top scorer in the league last season with 12 goals, their second-highest scorer from last season Diego Milito (9 goals) is 34 now and Antonio Cassano (8 goals) has been linked with a move away from the San Siro. It may be a long shot, but should the Italian side want to step up interest in Christian Benteke they have the pulling power (even without European football) to attract a player of the Aston Villa striker's quality.
