Defender’s time at Anfield finally seems to be up

Martin Skrtel is edging closer to a Liverpool exit as the club accepted a £5.5million bid from Fenerbache for his services today.

The 31-year-old, who is currently on Euro 2016 duty with Slovakia, has been the subject of interest from other Turkish clubs but Fenerbahce are favourites to complete a deal which would bring to an an end an eight-year stint at Anfield.

Skrtel signed a new three-year contract at Anfield last summer but has fallen out of favour under Jurgen Klopp after the German arrived at the club in October.

Liverpool signed Skrtel for £6.4m from Zenit Saint-Petersburg in January 2008 and he has made over 300 appearances for the club.

Fenerbahce finished runners-up to Besiktas in last season’s Turkish league and will enter Champions League qualifying at the third round stage.
