Martin Skrtel to Fenerbahce deal "almost done"

Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel's proposed move to Fenerbahce is "almost done", according to the Turkish club's president Aziz Yildirim.

Skrtel is one of Liverpool's longest-serving players having joined the club from Zenit St Petersburg in 2008, but he fell out of favour with Jurgen Klopp during the 2015-16 campaign.

He has been heavily linked with a move away from Anfield this summer, and a £5.5m deal to take him to Fenerbahce now appears to be close to completion.

"[Gregory] Van der Wiel and Skrtel transfers are almost done," Yildirim told Turkish TV, according to the Liverpool Echo.

Skrtel made 319 appearances for Liverpool, scoring 18 goals.
