Liverpool defender close to Fenerbahce move

 

Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel is close to sealing a £5.5m move to Turkish giants Fenerbahce, according to The Guardian.

 

Skrtel, 31, only signed a new three-year deal last summer but has dropped down the pecking order under Jurgen Klopp as the German looks to take Liverpool in a different direction.

 

The Slovakia international has made more than 300 appearances for Liverpool since joining from Zenit St. Petersburg in a £6.5m deal in January 2008 but his eight-year career is now coming to an end.

Skrtel made 22 appearances in the Premier League last season but only four came under Klopp. He has won at least 251 more aerial duels than any other Liverpool player in the Premier League since August 2010 (533).
