Dutchman makes move to Germany
Skysports.com understands Ryan Babel has sealed his switch to Hoffenheim from Liverpool.
The Reds confirmed on Monday that Babel was set for talks with the Bundesliga side after a deal was reached for the Dutchman.
Babel is believed to have signed a two-and-a-half -ear deal at Hoffenheim after agreeing personal terms and passing a medical.
The move ends Babel's four years at Liverpool after he joined the club in the summer of 2007 from Ajax for a fee of £11.5million.
The 24-year-old failed to live up to expectations at Anfield and never established himself as a regular in the first-team.
Liverpool have decided to cash-in on the versatile forward as they look to raise funds for their own signings in this month's transfer window.
The Holland international will help replace Demba Ba at the German club following his move to West Ham.
