Fenerbahce complete signing of Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel

Martin Skrtel finalises his switch to Super Lig outfit Fenerbahce, bringing his eight-year stint at Liverpool to an end.

Turkish giants Fenerbahce have announced the arrival of Martin Skrtel from Liverpool on a permanent deal.

The Slovakia international was told by Reds boss Jurgen Klopp to find a new club this summer after falling down the pecking order.

After completing a medical on Wednesday, the 31-year-old - who was recently forced to issue an apology to Klopp over derogatory comments made on Twitter - has now finalised what is thought to be a £5.5m switch to the Super Lig outfit.


Skrtel, who spent a total of eight years at Anfield, is likely to be joined by flop striker Mario Balotelli in making a Merseyside exit.
