Besiktas eye Skrtel deal

Turkish giants are considering a summer bid for unsettled Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel. The Slovakian international has had a tough time at Merseyside since the appointment of Jurgen Klopp.

The 31-year-old was part of the side that came close to lifting the league title during the 2013/14 campaign.

Fanatik reveals Besiktas have made contact with the player's representatives following claims he could seek a fresh challenge in the summer.

Skrtel has struggled to firm a regular place in the Reds' setup since his recovery from a hamstring sustained in February.

The talented centre-back has racked over 300 appearances for Liverpool since his move from Zenit St.Petersburg in 2007.
