Agent: Babel considering Birmingham move

(GSM) – Liverpool winger Ryan Babel’s agent claims his client could yet seal a move to St Andrews by signing a deal with Birmingham City.

The Blues had reportedly lodged a big-money bid for the Dutch international earlier this month.

However, the £9million offer was rejected by the Merseyside club, amid claims that Babel himself had shunned the approach.

But now it seems the 23-year-old, who has attracted attention from a number of clubs on the continent, is now ready to consider a switch to St Andrews after yet another spat with manager Rafael Benietz.

His agent Winnie Haatrecht confirmed that Babel is now thinking over Birmingham’s offer.

“Birmingham is still a possibility,” he told The Sun.

“It would be simpler for Ryan to continue in the Premier League, a competition he knows well.

“We’re actually studying an offer.”
