Liverpool forward Ryan Babel is attracting the attention of Italian outfit Fiorentina.
The 23-year-old is being lined up as a possible replacement for Adrian Mutu, who is said to want a move away from Florence.
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez is looking to sell his fringe players as he seeks to raise money to spend on new players in the January transfer window.
Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport claims Liverpool are set to offload Babel in the new year and they report that Fiorentina are preparing to table a bid for the Holland international.
Babel revealed earlier on this season that he was hoping to secure a loan move away from Anfield in January to earn a place in the Holland squad for the World Cup finals next summer.
The Dutchman has never cemented his place in the Liverpool side since his £11 million move from Ajax in 2007.
Babel has scored nine goals in 67 league appearances for Liverpool but has failed to become a regular starter for Benitez's side.
