The 25-year-old joined the Reds in a £32.5million deal from Aston Villa last summer, but has failed to set Anfield alight.
Benteke has been increasingly overlooked recently by Jurgen Klopp, as he has put his faith in Roberto Firmino.
But according to Bleacher Report, Benteke could head for the exit door in the summer.
The report suggests Benteke will make a decision on his future after Euro 2016.
It is thought he is assessing his options and could leave in order to get regular first-team football under his belt.
Former Liverpool boss Graeme Souness claimed the Reds shouldn't give up on Benteke just yet.
"If you get the right balls into him, he is a threat,” Souness told talkSPORT.
“No centre-halves will particularly enjoy playing against him, especially when you get in the last third and people put crosses in, because he has got a leap and he does attack it.
“I think it is a classic case of a young man who is playing with a shortage of confidence."
