Trust Liverpool to sign Benteke for £32.5m when they could just as easily buy a luxury car dealer or a 467,323 sq ft distribution warehouse.

Just think of all the fun they could have in there – they could build a theme park, a new stadium, perhaps even both in tandem.

But no, it looks as if they’re all set to sign the Aston Villa and Belgium centre-forward instead, even though they could be getting so much more for their money.

Here are ten things that would cost the same as the £32.5m that Liverpool are prepared to splash out on Christian Benteke…

1. 26 pubs

2. Flood protection for Leeds city centre

3. Luxury car dealer HR Owen

4. A 9,000 sq ft, nine-bedroom penthouse overlooking St James’s Park including art by Warhol and Damien Hirst and a separate three-bed staff flat

5. Kate’s Cakes, which supplies cakes and desserts to Marks and Spencer, Pret A Manger and Tesco cafés

6. A high-quality student accommodation in York with 648 student rooms, common areas, a gymnasium and quiet study space

7. A 467,323 sq ft distribution warehouse set on a 25-acre site in Northamptonshire

8. A 433,600 sq ft office complex on the edge of Salford Quays

9. The Minories Estate in Aldgate, London

10. Sustainable transport to work for the Greater Manchester area
