Babel again on sales list at Liverpool

Ryan Babel is again being linked with a move away at Liverpool.

The Mail on Sunday says Reds boss Rafa Benitez is willing to offload the likes of Babel, Albert Riera and Alberto Aquilani this summer.

The Liverpool manager has spent £220m in six years at Anfield, with Peter Crouch, Craig Bellamy, Robbie Keane, Andrea Dossena and Mark Gonzalez, among others, coming and going through the revolving door. But Benitez insists the high turnover has not been his fault.

He said: "I was criticised for selling one tall striker [Crouch] but his wages at Portsmouth were double what they were here. How could I keep him?"
