Deportivo La Coruna fear losing Ryan Babel next week.

The former Liverpool attacker is contracted to Depor until December 31 and his form has convinced management to keep him on.

However, AS says Depor chiefs fear Babel will leave for a bigger contract offer, with Besiktas keen.

The Turks have offered Babel a two and a half year deal worth €1.7 million - which is way out off reach of Depor.

Fans, staff and teammates are all urging Babel to stay, but his silence suggests the striker has decided to move to Turkey in the New Year.
