Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is desperate to cash in on Ryan Babel.
The Mail on Sunday says Benitez wants to get back the £12million he paid for Dutch international forward Babel.
The result has been deadlock with the only offers for Babel so far being loan spells in Holland with Ajax and PSV Eindhoven.
An attempt to swap Babel for Tottenham's out-of-favour Russian striker Roman Pavlyuchenko failed because Liverpool also wanted £3m as part of the deal.
