Babel may have failed to impress at Anfield since arriving for £11.5million in 2007, but Benitez is loathe to weaken his squad as they battle to secure a top four Premier League finish and challenge for FA Cup and Europa League glory over the coming months.
Meanwhile, Albert Riera’s agent has rubbished speculation that Olympiakos are attempting to prise him away from Liverpool.
Angel Castell said: “I have not heard from Olympiakos at all.
“Albert has this year and two more years to go on his contract and he wants to stay at Liverpool.
“Albert is just thinking about recovering from injury and getting back into the team.”
