Former Real Madrid winger Royston Drenthe has made startling accusations against Ryan Babel, claiming that his former teammate is running a nightclub from his Liverpool residence.
In a recent interview, Drenthe alleged:
“Babel runs a nightclub from his house in Liverpool. I’ve seen it myself and many have seen it too.”
Drenthe claimed the operations were well known locally and suggested Babel’s property became a regular gathering spot for partygoers.
These allegations have stirred attention given both players’ history, Babel and Drenthe once shared the pitch at Madrid and later linked paths in Turkey’s Besiktas. Drenthe’s outspoken nature in interviews has previously generated headlines across Dutch and international media.
So far, Babel has not publicly addressed the claims. As the story develops, questions about property usage, licensing, and local council regulations may arise.
The football community now awaits whether Drenthe can submit evidence or whether Babel will issue a response to defend his reputation.
