Sky sources understand that Aston Villa have had no offers for striker Christian Benteke.

The FA Cup finalists are keen for the Belgium international to sign a new deal but Benteke, who has two years on his current contract to run, is not keen to sign as he wants to play Champions League football.

Benteke, who has a £32.5m buy-out clause, has been heavily linked with a move away from Villa Park this summer with a number of top club's monitoring the situation. 

The 24-year-old, who was signed by former boss Paul Lambert in a £7m deal from Genk, has scored 49 goals in 101 appearances since making his debut against Swansea in September 2012.
