Liverpool winger Ryan Babel is interesting Fiorentina. Babel has been put up for sale by Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez as he seeks to raise his own transfer funds for the winter market.

Corriere dello Sport says Fiorentina are preparing a bid for Babel, who they hope to get on the cheap.

The Dutchman could arrive as a replacement for Adrian Mutu, who is unsettled in Florence.
