A source said: "Rafa has totally blanked Babel since his
outburst. He understands some of his concerns but has made it clear
to the player more than once he will only play who he believes to
be his strongest XI and won't budge.
"Rafa cannot give Babel the assurances he needs with the World
Cup coming up so he will let him go if he's not happy.
"The manager's only concern with this is that he won't be
getting any money to improve the squad from the move."
Former Ajax star Babel has only made 24 Premier League starts
since arriving at Anfield for £11.5m in the summer of
2007.
Holland boss Bert van Marwijk has told Babel he will only go to
the World Cup if he plays regularly.
But Babel's representatives are already working to secure a
perfect escape route.
Van Gaal has known Babel since he was a child and is confident
the 22-year-old can make his mark at Bayern and the club have no
problem taking on his £40,000-per-week wages.
The Dutch coach's ongoing feud with Italian striker Luca Toni is
also likely to give Babel an opportunity to play up front with
either Mario Gomez or Miroslav Klose.
