Forgotten ex-Premier League star and World Cup finalist has contract RIPPED UP after just one appearance this season
FORMER Liverpool star Ryan Babel has seen his contract with his latest club TERMINATED.
It comes after Babel played just one game this season for Eyupspor.
Babel, 36, joined the Turkish second tier outfit in 2022.
However, just one season later, Babel now finds himself without a club.
The 69-cap Dutch international made 29 appearances in his first season in Turkey’s second division, scoring five goals.
But this season he failed to muscle his way into the first team, prompting Eyuspor to break ties.
Taking to social media, the club said: “We would like to thank Ryan Babel for his contribution to Eyupspor during his time in our jersey and wish him success in the rest of his career!”
Prior to his transfer to Eyupspor, Babel had enjoyed a three-year stint at Galatasaray, who take on Manchester United in the Champions League group stage.
Babel’s last exposure to the Premier League came with Fulham in 2019, where he spent six months and scored five goals and added four assists in 16 league games.
The winger had spent four seasons at Liverpool between 2007 and 2011 after joining from boyhood club Ajax.
