Fenerbahce president Aziz Yildirim reveals that the deal to sign Martin Skrtel from Liverpool for a reported £5.5m is "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.
