Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel is on the verge of finalising a move to Fenerbahce after completing a medical this morning.
The Turkish club confirmed on their official website that the Slovakia international has passed the relevant tests.

Skrtel, who is believed to have cost Fenerbahce £5.5m, is expected to be officially announced as one of the club's summer signings later today.
The 31-year-old spent eight years playing for Liverpool, but struggled for game time under manager Jurgen Klopp last season, with Mamadou Sakho, Dejan Lovren and Kolo Toure all preferred ahead of him.
Last month amid the transfer rumours, Skrtel issued an apology after indirectly calling Klopp a dickhead on social media.
The centre-back won a single trophy - the League Cup - during his lengthy spell at Anfield.
