ANDREA DOSSENA has completed his £4million switch from Liverpool to Napoli as Maxi Rodriguez prepares to move to Anfield.

Left-back Dossena underwent a medical yesterday and signed a four-and-a-half year contract with the Italian club.

Rodriguez has informed his Atletico Madrid team-mates he is going to make the switch to Liverpool and the deal is believed to be worth £1.5million.

The Argentina international is expected to sign an 18-month contract and will link up with compatriot Javier Mascherano and former team-mate Fernando Torres.

Liverpool striker Andriy Voronin is on the verge of sealing a £2million move to Dinamo Moscow but Ryan Babel looks set to remain at Anfield.

The club have rejected an £9million bid from Birmingham City and their manager Alex McLeish has now set his sights on other options.

McLeish said: “Is there any movement with Babel situation? No, we’ve been told he is not for sale.”

Birmingham’s offer failed to meet Liverpool’s valuation, but it was also turned down because manager Rafael Benitez has been told any funds generated by sales in January will not be available to reinvest in new signings during the transfer window.
