Your support makes all the difference.Ryan Babel's agent has claimed Liverpool are seriously considering selling the winger and that "five or six" clubs are interested in him.
The 23-year-old has failed to hold down a regular first-team place at Anfield following his £11million move from Ajax in 2007.
Birmingham are believed to have tabled a bid of around £9million for Babel and, although agent Winne Haatrecht claims his client is still determined to succeed at Liverpool, he admitted they are looking at other options.
"We know that Liverpool are seriously thinking about the offer from Birmingham but we shall only consider a transfer if the clubs have an agreement," Haatrecht told De Telegraaf.
"Then we will see how Birmingham are building their squad, what the prospects are for the club and Ryan, and perhaps, after that an interview with the manager.
"I have sent details of all the interested clubs to Liverpool. There are about five or six of them.
"In general, Ryan still wants to succeed at Liverpool but, if the club concludes that it is better he leaves, we will have to think about the next chapter."
