The agent of Ryan Babel has hinted Liverpool are only interested in an outright sale for the Dutchman.
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is keen to cash in on Babel to raise his own transfer funds in January.
And agent Winnie Haatrecht confirmed to Sportsweek: "It will be difficult for him to focus and remain focused. He will not be loaned.
"I don't know if he will be sold, I have had no contact about that. The only thing I know - no loan. There has been no talk about a sale."
