Ryan Babel raised a few eyebrows by making a return to Ajax, the club where he started his career back in 2004, on a short-term loan spell from Galatasaray. The 33-year-old has become a forgotten man in these parts after having travelled almost throughout the length of Europe in his career. After starting out with Ajax, he went on to play for Liverpool in what could turn out to be his best time of his career. Babel spent four years at Anfield before a short spell in Hoffenheim. The striker and winger made a surprising return to Ajax in the 2012-13 campaign, but he did not stay for long.

Former Premier League ace Danny Mills believes Rangers should make the move to sign Ryan Babel, who is open to the possibility of working with manager Steven Gerrard. Babel and Gerrard were teammates at Liverpool and the former recently suggested that he would like to be reunited at the Glasgow giants.

Dutch defender Matthijs de Ligt has revealed that he turned down interest from the likes of Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain in order to join Juventus last summer. The former Ajax man was heavily linked with a move to the Blaugrana for nearly a year but he eventually made the surprise switch to the Bianconeri in the Serie A.

Speaking to Ziggo Sport, the centre-back revealed that he could have quite easily chosen Paris Saint-Germain or Barcelona but he was tempted by the project at the Bianconeri. He added that the development factor also played a part in the decision to join the Italian champions, he told: “I had offers last summer from Juventus, PSG and Barcelona, so I studied the various options and at the end of the day concluded I could grow faster at Juve. They have a particular style and I knew being here would make me a more complete player. There are more eyes on you and people expect a great deal, all of which is new compared to my time at Ajax.”

The star footballer from Galatasaray, Ryan Babel has recently signed an unexpected move. He made claims that the FIFA’ya club has complained about the receivables that were not paid within the designated time. The footballer from the Netherlands said that he was not paid and he sent a complaint to FIFA mentioning the reason for the delay in payment.

Before the season started, a contract for three years was signed between him and the club Galatasaray. But his joining the club was delayed by 4 days because of FIFA. It was known that there is a specific termination procedure in case of a delay for 3 months which is mentioned by FIFA itself. But later, it was known that Ryan Babel made took such action within the timeframe that is mentioned in his contract with Galatasaray. Footballers definitely do not expect such a step to be taken against them which the yellow-red club experienced. It was a great shock for other players as well.
