Liverpool accept £5.5million Fenerbahce offer for defender Martin Skrtel

Martin Skrtel is set to quit Liverpool to join Fenerbahce in a £5.5million deal. 

Fenerbahce have tabled a bid of 7million Euros for the 31-year-old, who has been given the green light to discuss personal terms. 

The defender has fallen down the pecking order at Anfield and looks ready to move on after eight years on Merseyside. 

Skrtel dropped down the pecking order following the appointment of Jurgen Klopp last season and is keen to take on a new challenge in order to secure regular first-team football. 

With new signing Joel Matip arriving from Schalke and the threat of a long ban having been lifted from the shoulders of Mamadou Sakho, Skrtel’s opportunities would have been heavily limited next season.
