The agent of Ryan Babel has moved to quash recent reports claiming that he could be on his way out of Liverpool during the close-season.
It was alleged on Wednesday that the 22-year-old had been informed by Reds manager Rafa Benitez that he can move on this summer as he cannot guarantee him regular football in the starting eleven next season.
It was claimed earlier on Thursday that the 30-time capped Netherlands international could complete a switch to either the Primera Division or Serie A in time for the start of the 2009/10 campaign, while Tottenham Hotspur were mentioned as a possible destination should he wish to stay in England.
However, the former Ajax star's representative Winnie Haatrecht inists that the versatile forward has no plans to head for the exit doors at Anfield until he has left his mark on the club.
"We'll get around the table with Mr. Benitez soon to evaluate the season," Haatrecht told Sportwereld.
"He has not had the time to establish himself.
"Ryan left Ajax for Liverpool because he wanted to win trophies and, so far, he hasn't succeeded.
"Ryan wants to leave Liverpool as a first-team player with a prize in his pocket. He is not ready to go."
