Olympique Marseille are interested in Liverpool winger Ryan Babel.
The News of the World says Marseille are running out of patience in their bid to sign Alessandro Mancini and have considered Babel as an alternative option.
A deal has been agreed with Inter Milan but Mancini is stalling amid rumours of possible interest from AC Milan and Manchester City.
Babel would be an expensive option for the Stade Velodrome outfit but informed sources in the south of France insist a deal would at least be considered.
