Fenerbahce confirm talks with Liverpool to sign Skrtel

The Turkish club have released a statement confirming they are in negotiations over a deal to buy the Slovakia international, who has fallen out of favour at Anfield

Fenerbahce have confirmed they have opened talks with Liverpool for centre-back Martin Skrtel.
The 31-year-old has been linked with a move to Istanbul for some weeks, with Fenerbahce president Aziz Yildirim claiming at the end of June that a deal was nearing completion.
And the club announced on Thursday that formal discussions have begun with Jurgen Klopp's side with a view to concluding a deal soon.
Skrtel, who joined Liverpool from Zenit in 2008, made 22 appearances in the Premier League last season.
