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.
The club announced on Thursday that formal discussions have begun with Jurgen Klopp’s side with a view to concluding a deal soon.
